This was growing in a hanging basket last summer which was left outside through winter. To my suprise I found fresh shoots coming up when cleaning out the basket this spring. I will definitely be using more of it this year. It looks so lovely trailing down the sides of a pot or basket.

Absolutely clear and powerful variegation, even (or especially) in shade. A truly nice hang-over-the-edge plant. As for the zone 7 rating: Definitely not as hardy as the species.

'Wojo's Jem'PPAF Vinca Vine was introduced by Wojo's Greenhouse, Ortonville, MI. Great green/cream-yellow variegation. Works well in planter boxes, hanging basket. Given enough space it makes a great groundcover, but can become invasive in warmer zones.
