I’m not familiar with the vincas whereof you speak! Vincas I know are a ground cover with little purple flowers, or a green and white vine that we use as “filler” in combined pots. When that stuff escapes the pot, you can never get rid of it. It is definitely “cold hardy”.

Have you looked into Baccopa. It is a prostrate plant with lots of small white flowers.

Thats why I rarely mention varieties except where talking to another southerner. Things are vastly different 1000 miles northward! What we were getting came from Lowes and they buy from pretty much local nurseries.

Hmm, maybe I should add vincas to my erosion-control plans.
