Perriwinkle  by beryl

Perriwinkle

Such a bright and wonderful little invader in the garden -- this plant once had it's roots firmly in the soil of next door's garden but like a contortionist has woven its way through the fence and by now the roots are established my side of the fence !! A lovely little addition as long as it is restrained from evading any more space !!
they are a gorgeous blue

Such a lovely image. As kids, we used to pull the petals off to reveal a 'fairy's toothbrush'.

Very nice image Beryl. I don't know much about periwinkle... this is a garden escape but your comment also suggests that it needs controlling so I assume it would take over, is that right? I told you I'm no gardner!

@yrhenwr Thanks --yes this very much needs drastically controlling annually ! I used to have a prettier variety with Variegated leaves -- but I think I was too zealous in my pruning !

So beautiful, I bet you are pleased it escaped into your garden.

This looks so neat against the fencing

It does seem to take over if you let it. It always seems a shame to dig it up though. :)

These are beautiful! Sometime ago we bought some of this as a ground cover for a slope that was difficult to mow.
