Vinca minor 'Illumination,' commonly known as Illumination Periwinkle, is a vibrant and versatile ground cover plant that thrives in the Irish climate. It is a popular choice among gardeners in Ireland due to its colorful foliage and reliable performance.

Height/Spread: Vinca minor 'Illumination' typically grows to a height of 6-8 inches (15-20 centimeters) with a spread of 12-18 inches (30-45 centimeters). Its low-growing habit and spreading nature make it an ideal ground cover option for various garden spaces in the Irish climate.

Position: This variety of Vinca minor thrives in partial shade to full shade, making it well-suited for the often-shaded areas of Irish gardens. It can tolerate a range of light conditions, including dappled sunlight or areas with filtered light, and is adaptable to different positions in the garden.

Soil: Vinca minor 'Illumination' prefers well-draining soil but can tolerate a wide range of soil types. It adapts well to both acidic and alkaline soils, providing versatility for Irish gardens with varying soil compositions.

Flowering Season: While Vinca minor 'Illumination' is primarily appreciated for its colorful foliage, it also produces delicate, blue flowers in spring. These flowers add a charming touch to the garden and attract pollinators. However, the main appeal of this variety lies in its variegated leaves, which display stunning shades of gold, green, and cream throughout the year.

Uses: Vinca minor 'Illumination' serves multiple purposes in Irish gardens. Its spreading nature and dense foliage make it an excellent choice for ground cover, filling in bare areas and suppressing weed growth. It is also suitable for edging paths, rock gardens, or cascading over walls. Additionally, its vibrant foliage adds a splash of color and visual interest to shaded areas, providing year-round beauty to Irish gardens.
