Nothing new where these are concerned, Ray. I normally have odd Vinca flowers most of the winter. 'Jenny Pym' just keeps on flowering! Mind you - that's a thug! If you want a piece, I can root you one - at your own risk. LOL.

Now THAT would be a sight to behold! OK. No probs. It roots so easily!

Oh dear! I`ve just made an impulse buy of Vinc minor `Gertrude Jekyll` which says on the label that it is more compact than other varietiesso I can only hope that it doesn`t take over. I have got the Vinca Major a purple coloured one in the garden which doesn`t seem to be doing too well and its been there about two years so perhaps its me thats doing something wrong, or does it take time to get going.

I should look on yours and others sites before I buy and not make impulse purchases. But hey oh, its all part of the learning curve.

She's not really a thug - so don't worry, Stroller. Now 'Jenny Pym'...well...she definitely is!
