Identify please!!!

Afternoon everyone.

Been tidying up around the garden and noticed this undet some conifers. Could someone tell me what is? Is it possible to take a cutting from it?

 

It looks like a Periwinkle. If it is they can be an invasive pest and you will have no trouble propagating it!Try pulling up a piece and you will see how tough it is..

 

Hi Mowgley,
I think it's a Periwinkle....my friend grew some from cuttings taken in Autumn, if that's any use????? :rolleyes:
I'm sure one of our more knowledgable members will be along in a minute to confirm or deny!! :D :D

 

Yep looks like a periwinkle very pretty but can be invasive

 

thank you all. Might take some cuttings later on.

 

Yup, vinca! I have some in my garden and it spreads on runners. They are quite easy to pull out, however, so you can keep it under control.

 

Have a look at a joint if there are tiny roots then peg the stem down and leave for a few weeks, it should self root then just cut it off the main plant and transplant.

 

I was watching another gardening program while waiting for gardener's world on Friday - the one with Christine someone in it - and I think it was Periwinkle's stamen that she said the modern Olympic torch design was based on?

 

Some variegated Vinca has crept throught into my garden from next door. I have replanted it under some privet in a shady corner. It has certainly brightened it up.
