I don't think I've seen either of these flower.
The first one I love and may buy again. Second one is ot happy where it is and is sprawling where I don't want it
Any ideas? Plus where should it ideally be so it can flourish. It's lower leaves are curling up and going brown
Thanks

The 2nd one could be a Euonymus of some type?
Some leaves have just totally withered up
Thanks
Is the first one low on the ground or is it a shrub?
The second one looks like Vinca Major the variegated form.
It's a shrub.
That name rings a bell actually!
Any ideas why it looks so pitiful? I've just looked it up , glorious evergreen ground cover ! Mine seems to be growing upwards then flopping over
If it is a Vinca, it tends to spraw from its original area if not kept in check. This plant may have come up from another area (possibly your neighbour's garden), which is why it flops about. It may look pitiful, but if it is a Vinca, it is far more resilient and will look much better once it is cut hard. When you say growing up, can you see where it is planted? Vincas do grow upright, but probably no more than 45cms.
2.Interesting!
Please can you add a pic to this thread..a general pic to show its growth habit.
It would be good to see the whole plant. I think you can get eunymus that's trailing. I've seen it at garden centres.
