| Vinca
minor is a creeping vine with opposite, entire, glossy leaves. The leaves
are mostly less than 3 cm long. The blue or violet flowers seem large
in proportion to the leaves--the corolla often as broad as the leaves
are long. It is a horticultural plant in Wisconsin, long persistent where
planted and sometimes escaping to nearby disturbed sites. It is considered
invasive in Wisconsin.
