Can You Identify This Plant?

I have just come across this plant at the back of my garden, I believe it may be a climber but apart from that I'm not sure what it is.

Can anyone help me?

    Could be Vinca  otherwise known as  Periwinkle

  • Vinca major (leaf edges are ciliate).

  • i have this in my garden but you do need to keep an eye on it any pieces that touch the ground will root but it dosnt mind being cut back

  • Yes, vinca major -

     I've got a clump blooming beautifully in my garden at the moment.  It spreads by runners but each autumn/winter I cut back the old foliage and remove unwanted runners and pull out any unwanted new plants.  The new growth in the very early spring is what carries the lovely blue flowers.

  • You can see the new growth on your photograph - it's a slightly lighter green .

  • Thanks everyone, it looks rather pretty!
