Creeping Myrtle or Common Periwinkle

These are perennial evergreen groundcovers, with purple flowers blooming repeatedly, most in early spring. They are tough, hardy from zone 4 to 8, and thrive anywhere either in full sun or full shade, even between forks of trees.

Any kind of soil will do. Just don't let them go too thirsty for too long.

However, they can get evasive in rich soil, so not recommended to grow near other small plants less tough than they are.

I can e-mail a picture of them blooming in my garden if you would like to know what they look like.
