How to Grow Periwinkle Flower:
-
Location: Periwinkle prefers a partially shaded area with well-draining soil. It can also grow in full sun, but it may require more frequent watering.
-
Soil: Periwinkle can grow in a range of soil types, but it prefers well-draining soil. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, you can improve drainage by adding sand or organic matter.
-
Planting: Plant periwinkle in the spring or fall, spacing the plants about 6-12 inches apart. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball, and water the plant thoroughly after planting.
-
Watering: Periwinkle is drought-tolerant but prefers to be watered regularly during dry spells. Water deeply once a week, or more frequently during hot weather.
-
Fertilization: Periwinkle does not require frequent fertilization. You can fertilize once a year in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.

-
Ground Cover: Periwinkle is an excellent ground cover plant that can fill in large areas of your garden. It helps to prevent soil erosion and suppress weeds.
-
Borders and Edging: Periwinkle is a great choice for borders and edging around flower beds and pathways. It adds a pop of color and helps to define the space.
-

-

Tips for Growing Periwinkle:
-
Mulch around your periwinkle plants to help retain moisture and prevent weeds.
-
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming period.
-
Keep an eye out for slugs and snails, which can damage periwinkle leaves and blooms.
-
Avoid overwatering, as periwinkle can be prone to root rot in waterlogged soil.
-
In colder climates, protect your periwinkle plants from frost by covering them with a frost blanket or bringing them indoors.
In addition to its aesthetic benefits, periwinkle also has some medicinal properties. The plant contains alkaloids that have been used to treat a variety of health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and even cancer.
However, it is important to note that periwinkle should not be ingested without the guidance of a medical professional.
