Periwinkle is an herbaceous perennial, broadleaf evergreen ground cover in the dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It is native to Europe and has a creeping, spreading habit.
It tolerates high heat and nearly full shade but prefers full sun, partial shade, or dappled sunlight and moist soil with good drainage. It grows 3 to 6 inches high and 3 to 18 inches wide which makes it seem like a relatively small plant, but its rapid growth rate and ability to root at the nodes enables periwinkle to quickly form a dense mat over a wide area and become weedy and high maintenance.
Rosy Periwinkle Plant
Madagascar or rosy periwinkle plant (Catharantus roseus) is a spectacular plant used as a groundcover or trailing accent. Previously known as Vinca rosea, this species does not have the hardiness its look-alike cousin, Vinca minor, has attained. The rosy periwinkle plant is tolerant of many growing conditions where seasons are warm annually and soil is well draining. Some notes about rosy periwinkle and how and where to grow Madagascar periwinkles can be found in this article.
Periwinkle is also called vinca or myrtle. Of the 12 species of periwinkle, two are popular groundcovers. All species have opposite leaves and single flowers. The perennial periwinkle should not be confused with the bedding plant, Madagascar periwinkle. Starry flowers, glossy leaves, and persistent fruits characterize the rosy periwinkle plant. It is a perennial in its native region of Madagascar and in tropical to semi-tropical regions. The flowers may be found in white, pink, and rosy-purple. It's a plant that's easy to care for, and may grow as a perennial or an annual in cooler zones.
Periwinkle (Vinca minor) is an excellent evergreen groundcover with dark green foliage. Oblong to ovate leaves are opposite, simple, ½ to 2 inches long, glossy, with a short petiole. They exude a milky juice when broken. Flowers are purple, blue or white depending on the cultivar. Plants bloom in March or April and sometimes again in the fall. Vinca minor grows about 6 inches tall, spreading in all directions by sending out long trailing and rooting shoots, which make new plants.
Vinca major or large periwinkle is a larger, more aggressive species than V. minor. Leaves are up to 3 inches long. The blue, funnel-shaped flowers are 1 to 2 inches in diameter. They are borne in abundance in early spring and sporadically throughout the summer. Large periwinkle spreads rapidly and will mound up to 2 feet. Non-flowering stems root at the tips where they touch the ground.
