I cannot think of anything better, at this moment, for ground cover on my 'new' hardy perennial border. I planted a Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' the other day and today planted a totally different one. The habit is the about same although I read that Azurea Flore Pleno is more bushy in habit, but the flowers are so very different. Unfortunately, these aren't the clearest photos in the world but I assure you that the colour is spot on and you can see the delicate formation of the petals. When the flowers open, they have a number of small petals at the centre of the flower which die away before the flower ends completely.
