Where does a periwinkle plant grow?
I grow them in zones 8b and 9 with no problem.
Reply:Me thinks that oil field trash is thinking of a different Periwinkle than I am. Vinca minor (common name Periwinkle) is a ground cover, that is most suitable for semi to mostly shady areas. It doesn't like full sun at all unless you have exceptional soils and water the heck out of it.
Reply:I have a variety that grows in water.
Reply:Which periwinkle do you mean?? The blue flowered perennial


(Vinca minor) or the pink flowered annual (Catharanthus roseus)


Both Brian and Oil field trash are right.Brian is talking about the blue one and oil feild trash is talking about the pink one.


The only things I can add is the pink one grows best in well drained soil and once established is fairly drought tolerant.The blue one will grow in any soil.
Reply:They grow most everywhere but they really like hot weather. Many people put them out too early in the spring and they die from a fungus or virus that causes damping off.





Wait until it gets really warm to plant them and put them in a sunny area.





They will reseed themselves.
