Vinca minor Bowles in isolated bed

Anyone have experience growing this plant in an isolated bed?

I plan to have a small bed with a Freeman Maple and a Golden Mugo PIne. I wanted to utilize a ground to fill in the rest of the small bed.

I've heard that Vinca tends to terminate at the grass. Is this true? I like that this would be an evergreen with purple blooms. Bowles also appears to be less aggressive.

The alternative is blue star juniper. Its a hot dry sandy site so open to other alternatives. Blue Star juniper is one but very boring, although fits the site perfectly as it will take part shade as the freeman maple matures. Blue should pop once the maple take on bright red and the mugo pine begins to turn yellow.
