Possibly. What are the length and width of the leaves?

I recognised it instantly as periwinkle; the primary weed in my garden back home. But not flowering here and the leaves are wilted from the dry. It could be vinca minor though?

Yes I have also spent a lot of time digging this one out - not a plant to recommend planting anywhere
