I'd be very careful of the vinca as @CarolineL says. Whilst the v major is the worst, the v minor will also spread rapidly. Are you keeping all of the lawn shown in your photo ? If so, there isn't a lot of space left for plants. Either way, violets, ferns, spring bulbs may be worth considering.

The compost we had bought and sowed seeds.......RUBBISH! The dwarf french beans rotted out, the maize started and then rotted out and on goes the sad story. Even repotting some house plants had to be redone because the compost went mouldy in a day. What is wrong with compost these days?

Yes it is parasitic on mainly hazel and alder but can be on the roots of other trees. The flowering part that @Adam l photographed is the only part of the plant seen above ground and comes up in April/May so @Adam l was very lucky to see it but then so many plants are flowering earlier than usual.
