Periwinkle- "Catharanthus pusillus"


Locally called sada bahaar(all time bloom), periwinkle is a great perennial for any garden. It blooms profusely all through the year and comes in a variety of colors- baby pink, fuchsia pink, peach, white, blue, mauve and deep purplish pink. I've got baby pink, Fuchsia pink and white colors at present. What is best about periwinkle, is that it can grow literally out of a handful of soil, and well too. I saw one with flowers all over, growing out of a crack in the cement! You can enjoy the sights of your heart's desire! There are no smells. : p
