The flexible branches can grow one to two meters long.<br>\nThe large periwinkle blooms for much of the year with single, blue flowers. The lesser periwinkle has varieties with white, purple-red and violet flowers.<br>\nPeriwinkle is a strong plant, likes a humus-rich soil both in full sun and (semi-)shade. The small periwinkle is hardy, the large one a little less so it is more suitable for a sheltered spot in the garden.<br>\nPeriwinkle tolerates drought poorly, especially when in full sun.<br>\nLesser periwinkle is native to Europe and western Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The name periwinkle is shared with the related evergreen perennial <em>Catharanthus roseus<\/em> or &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/rose\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Rose, shrub, belonging to the rose family.
