Does great in shady areas and poor soil

This plant has been a great choice for that part of my backyard where grass has never grown. It has tolerated shade, rabbits, sandy soil, and trampling. It certainly is invasive, but if you have a fenced space for vinca, it's a terrific low maintenance option. My vinca from last year have spread and flowered very well. I would buy it again in a second.
