White Vinca Plant

Though I never liked them, suddenly I am quite sentimental about the White Vinca plant! In my so called garden in Bhilai, there was this drought-tolerant plant near the kitchen window. I was quite indifferent to it as I didn’t like its icy-white flowers. But I am sure I must have watered it every evening.

I guess it survived my indifference because the White Vincas love the sun and are low-maintenance plants. These vigorous bloomers form drifts of snowy blooms all summer long. They are resistant to shade, heat, humidity, drought and insect pests. 

I remember the White Vinca from Bhili because of its density and ground-hugging height. It was taller than me in 1988.
