A Vinegar Vine? Well that is what my mom says I have. It is a vine that grows bushy but yet spreads along the ground. In the spring it blooms these pretty purple flowers and then after the blooming season it just stays green. The vines will creep and take root as they go and will often times root underground and new ones will pop up in other areas around the base plant. Stays green year round also. The vine I started is on the side of the house that gets just a little morning sun but that is all. I have another on the other side of the house that gets the mid day sun and it is also doing well. Then I dug up a few clumps, just put them in a pot and they are doing well also.

I had taken some to my mom in the upper State of S.C. (I am in Conway) and she said it was a vinegar vine. I have no idea, I got mine from a neighbor who got his from the woods. It gets really thick and pretty.

Sorry no photo, hope some one can tell me for sure what I have.

sounds to me that the name 'vinegar vine' is a mutation of vinca vine...

yes, they're terrific growers!! they're considered invasive...which wouldn't phase me at all - i just love it!
