Vinca minor 'Bowles'
Choose Bowles Periwinkle for filling shaded beds under trees where turf struggles; it knits together fast and stays green, but only use it where you can keep its spread inside a defined bed.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives shaded beds a clean, finished look with spring flowers and steady foliage. |
| Growth Rate | A | It spreads quickly once established, which is useful for coverage but requires boundaries. |
| Maintenance | B | It is not fussy, but runners should be trimmed where they move past the intended bed. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It can work in small beds only if edging or routine trimming keeps it contained. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Bowles Periwinkle for contained shade beds, not open woodland edges. Give it a clear border and check runners a few times a season.

Yes, that is one of its better uses if the soil is not bone dry.
Yes, quickly; use it where spreading is helpful, not a problem.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
