Periwinkle

Periwinkle (Vinca) - Perennial trailers, hardy and vigorous anywhere. The well-known V. major (common Periwinkle) is useful for banks or masses of rootwork, and also for rocky places or by wood walks. The lesser Periwinkle (V. minor) is much smaller and useful for the same positions; it also has several varieties worth growing: a white-flowered one (V. m. alba), a reddish one, and one or two double and variegated forms. V. herbacea is less frequently seen than our common Periwinkles, but is more worthy of culture on rocks, as it is not rampant in habit. It is a native of Hungary, flowers in spring and early summer, and its stems die down every year. V. acutiloba is a distinct kind bearing its delicate mauve blossoms in autumn and thriving on sunny banks and warm borders.
