The leaves are elliptical, opposite, with petioles, bright green, glossy, with yellowish margins. The edges of the leaves are white, with yellowish-white spots. Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud is both heat and cold-resistant, evergreen throughout the year, with strong vitality, making it an ideal ground cover plant. Moreover, its flowers are colorful, leaves have unique shapes, and it has high ornamental value.

1. Morphological characteristics

Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud is a vine-like semi-shrub. Dwarf, vine-like, creeping growth, reaching over 2 meters in length. The leaves of Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud are elliptical or ovate, acuminate at the apex, opposite, with petioles, bright green, glossy, with yellowish margins, and have a strong tillering ability. Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud has a high-footed butterfly-shaped corolla, solitary flowers, and violet in color. Through introduction and cultivation experiments, it is found to have strong adaptability, no strict soil requirements, and fast growth. Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud flowers from March to May.

2. Adaptation to the environment

Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud is light-loving and shade-tolerant, and can tolerate low temperatures. Even at -7°C, there is no frost damage when planted in the open field. Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud is evergreen throughout the year, and the tillered vines and the small violet flowers that bloom in March cover the ground like a flower-studded green carpet, creating a spectacular scene. It is an ideal ground cover material for both flowers and leaves. It has strong adaptability, no strict soil requirements, and fast growth.

3. Propagation technology

Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud can be propagated by division or cutting. The non-tube high-efficiency rapid propagation technology for plants is a new plant cloning system that completely leaves the laboratory conditions, with simple seedling facilities, saving a lot of germplasm materials compared to conventional seedling raising. The seedlings have more developed roots, and the amount of explant materials used is 3 to 8 times less than that of conventional seedling raising; the inoculation speed is extremely fast, and the labor efficiency is very high. Beijing Origin Creation Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. uses the non-tube high-efficiency rapid propagation technology (TERNPC) invented by Researcher Li Changxiao, which only requires a small material (one leaf and one bud) as the seed. The leaves are planted in the seedbed, the materials are simple, and the time for root formation and seedling growth is significantly reduced. Using this technology to rapidly propagate Vinca major Linn. cv. Variegata Loud through micro-materials, workers trained through simple training can produce 3,500 to 5,000 seedlings per day, achieving non-variant, low-cost, short-cycle, large-scale, and industrialized rapid propagation, quickly supplying seedlings to all sectors of society.
