Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert', commonly known as the Variegated Lesser Periwinkle, is an eye-catching evergreen ground cover renowned for its glossy, dark green leaves edged with creamy white and its delicate violet-blue flowers. This low-growing plant is perfect for adding colour and texture to shady areas of the garden, where it forms a dense mat of foliage.
Additional Information:
-
Charming Flowers: 'Ralph Shugert' produces charming violet-blue, star-shaped flowers from late spring through to early autumn. The blooms contrast beautifully against the variegated foliage, creating a striking display that lasts for months.
-
Extended Blooming Season: This variety offers a long flowering period, typically blooming from April to September, bringing consistent colour to shady and semi-shady garden areas.
-
Attractive Variegated Foliage: The evergreen leaves of 'Ralph Shugert' are dark green with a distinct creamy-white edge, adding interest and brightness to the garden year-round. The foliage remains attractive even when the plant is not in bloom, providing a beautiful backdrop to other plants.
-
Low-Growing Habit: Growing to a height of 10-15 cm and spreading up to 60-90 cm, this Vinca is an excellent choice for ground cover. It forms a dense, weed-suppressing carpet that is ideal for difficult areas under trees or on slopes.
-
Shade Tolerant: 'Ralph Shugert' thrives in partial shade to full shade, making it ideal for planting under trees, along shaded borders, or in woodland gardens. It can also tolerate some sun, provided the soil remains moist.
-
Well-Drained Soil: This Vinca prefers moist, well-drained soil but is adaptable to a range of soil types, including poor, dry soils. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.
Site 1 – Packing and Distribution
This site holds:
Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
Aquarium plants
Snails
Pots
Pond packs
Site 2 – Growing Site
This site holds:
Potted lilies
Potted plants
Plugs
Floating plants

Fruit trees
We start processing orders each morning at 8am.
Orders that include items from Site 2 are dispatched the following day.

During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
We have five collections a day, so orders can leave throughout the day as soon as they’re ready.
During busy times, if we experience any delays, we’ll post updates on our social media and website to give everyone a heads up. This helps keep customers informed if there’s likely to be a delay of a few days.
