Periwinkle can be grown both in the ground on the street and at home in a pot. The soil for planting periwinkle should be light and well-drained.
Where to plant periwinkle in the shade or in the sun
Periwinkle, unlike most other ornamental plants, feels great both in bright sun and in the shade.
Therefore, it can be planted under shrubs and trees, where it will quickly cover empty spaces.
Where the periwinkle loves to grow
Periwinkle dimorph grows best in full or partial sun.
They do best in direct morning light, but in summer they need protection from the strong midday sun. In temperate climates, too hot midday sun can scorch the leaves, damaging the plant's appearance and health.
How to propagate periwinkle with seeds
On the day of planting, shallow, about 1 cm, grooves are made in the garden. Seeds are placed in them at a distance of 20-25 cm.
If desired, the crops can be made thicker, but then some of the seedlings will have to be transplanted to a new place. The sown seeds are sprinkled with a layer of soil and watered.
When to plant periwinkle
Cuttings are planted in open ground in spring or late August - early September at a distance of 20-30 cm from each other.
Evergreen species are propagated by fallen stems using the horizontal layering technique - as soon as they are lightly sprinkled with earth, the shoots immediately grow into the soil.
