Periwinkle, which is also called Vinca rosea and Vinca multiflora, grows 7 to 24 inches tall and wide. Its brittle stems are covered in white, pink, or rosy-purple flowers that form a mound. There are cultivars that grow like carpets or straight up. During the warm months, there are lots of flowers, but plants may not do well when it's very hot. The plant blooms even when it's very hot outside, which is probably better than most other flowering ground covers. If you plant the seeds 12 to 20 inches apart and feed them, water them lightly (or not at all), and put them in full sun, the plants will grow into a solid mass of mounded leaves and flowers in 6 to 8 weeks.


Periwinkles can grow over a wall or container and hang in a nice box. Periwinkle derivatives are used to treat and cure a wide range of diseases in humans, such as leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. Plants spread out on their own across the land.The plant needs full sun and grows for a long time. For periwinkle to grow well, it needs to stay dry. If you water it too often, the roots will rot. If you plant periwinkle, don't water it more than twice or three times with water. When it rains in the summer, plants often die from root rot because they get too much water. Up until now, a bed of periwinkle has looked great, but this plant generally only lives for one year. A color time of three months without disease is thought to be very good. After the plants are taken out, put another annual to finish the season. Some gardeners find that periwinkle grows best in a raised bed made of sand or another type of soil that drains very well.

Plants can be spread by seeds or cuts. In the summer, you can take softwood buds and root them. If the temperature is between 70°F and 75°F, the seed will sprout in one week. Do not water the flat of seeds too much and keep it in the dark until the seeds sprout. In USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11, you can plant at any time of the year.
