Vinca is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae, native to Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. The English name periwinkle is shared with the related genus Catharanthus.
September in central Florida is still bright, sunny, and hot. The high temperatures are lower than August, and the low temperatures are in the 70’s (F) instead of August’s 80’s.
This particular day was a bright, sunny day with blue skies. The air was hot. Let’s look at the vinca or periwinkle.
My periwinkle comes in two colors, purple and white.

I’ve never seen white periwinkle. It’s pretty!
Yours are Gorgeous, we have periwinkle here as a ground cover, but it only blossoms in spring. We’ve lost so many perennials this year and last, but the periwinkle is lush green as a ground cover.
I love the purple color Carol.

Very pretty flowers Carol! Sunny skies too! Nice and warm too. I am wearing a good pair of thick socks 🙂 Happy weekend coming up!
Denise I tried to visit your blog and got a page that said I had to be invited. Would you invite me please?
Bellas plantas. Te mando un beso.
Oh my! Your perrinkle is gorgeous. Is it a perrenial in FLA?
It doesn’t really die back here. I end up pulling it up when it gets too big or looks bad. It re-seeds and new little ones appear. I love it as my neighbor gave me several babies in purple years ago and the white just appeared one year.

Very pretty.
I love your periwinkle!! Our temps are over 90 in the afternoon and it is almost October!!
Pretty Periwinkle flowers, and lovely blue skies!
Lovely blog.
I’ve only grown (New York State) the annual periwinkle once. I know from visiting South Carolina once in August that it tolerates heat quite well (I saw lots of it there) and interesting that yours reseeds and you never have to replant it. Alana ramblinwitham
