Pachysandra and Periwinkle

11 years ago

Hi All!

I have some wood bark mulched areas I was considering to replace with
a ground cover like periwinkle or pachysandra. They've both grown on
the property before so I know the conditions are good. In fact both are
still growing wild here and there. There is enough periwinkle that I
thought about transplanting what I have, since it is a bit expensive.
However, I have two strips of border along two sides of my house that
are about 45 ft long and 3 ft wide. Is that wide enough for periwinkle,
or am I in for a battle to keep it out of the grass? If I could edge
it once in the spring and maybe once in the fall and be good, I'd be
fine with that, but I don't want to fight runners making their way
through the grass all summer. I think the pachysandra would be less
invasive, but I like the periwinkle better.

Any thoughts?
