How strange! Many people plant vinca on purpose as a ground cover back in NJ -- never heard of it getting out of control. I like its dark green leaves and purple flowers better than pachysandra, anyways. Now the ivy, on the other hand, was a vicious predator. It tried to eat our heat exchanger and damn near won.

Thanks for all the idents. I will try and water "poor purple guy" and see if he gets better!
