Illumination Periwinkle is a fast-spreading evergreen perennial  that forms a dense carpet with smooth stems and small variegated foliage that emerges chartreuse and matures to bright gold with dark green margins.  Large, solidary bright violet-blue to lavender-blue flowers bloom from late spring to early summer.  Grows best with part shade and moist rich well-drained soils.  Can tolerate to near full shade and drought.  Note: Spreads aggressively and considered invasive in GA.
