Hippo direct causes of biodiversity decline today: i invasive alien species. Periwinkle (vinca minor) is an invasive alien plant in london, on. American in the 1700s from europe as an ornamental garden plant. It is used as a ground cover in gardens and does a great job as a ground cover in our gardens. But it does not stay in out gardens.
