There are so many wonderful vinca cultivars out there that's it's difficult to pick just one! After reading about 'Valley Glow', I'm sure you'll agree with me.

Developed in Oregon's Willamette Valley, this white-flowering vinca really does glow. Bright yellow stems trail along the ground, sending forth flushes of gold foliage in almost neon brilliance in spring. The foliage gradually fades to a light green, accentuating masses of white blooms held just above the leaves.

Like most Vinca vines it will produce fewer blooms in deep shade, so if you can give it partial shade it will be happiest. It will fill a space faster if grown in organic, moist, well-drained soil, but it will also grow quite well in heavy clay as long as it gets adequate moisture.
