Variegated Vinca minor, rooted plants for SASE. The link below seems to be the closest match in the Plant Files for the plant that I have:
http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/37034/index.html
I will be pulling up about a 15 ft x 15 ft area covered with this plant. I tried it as a ground cover, but it grows too tall (about 1 ft with gracefully arching stems) and too sparse for my preferences for ground covers.
t may be considered "invasive" by some -- it will spread rapidly by rooting whenever a stem comes in prolonged contact with soil. It blooms in my garden in early Spring. Its flower color is close to being a "true" blue (without much purple tint), which seems to be somewhat difficult to find in flowers (I consider Plumbago to be a true blue, and the A. houstonianum coloration is about the same).
This variegated leaf type is attractive for use in hanging baskets.
Please send me a D-mail and specify how many rooted pieces of the vine you want (request by the dozens, if you wish, I have plenty!)
I am offering these for return of exact postage via your preference for shipment method. I am currently experiencing a glut of plants (if such a thing is possible for an obsessive gardener!) and don't have any particular plants I want in trade (but you may be able to tempt me with some woodland wildflowers that would do well in Zone 8b/9a subtropical heat and humidity or other "true blue" flowers).

If you haven't already done so, please send me a personal D-mail, Shirley. The individual notes help me keep track of pending trades and SASE offers. Otherwise, I am usually running about with 100 projects all at once and am likely to overload and forget to whom I owe what! LOL
