Periwinkle 🌺

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Periwinkle grows well in full sun or partial shade 🌞. It can tolerate a variety of soil types, but well-drained soil is preferred.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Periwinkle prefers soil that is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0) 🌾. Add organic compost to improve the texture and fertility of the soil.

3. Planting Instructions:
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 6-12 inches apart 🌍. For rows, space them 12-18 inches apart.

4. Watering Requirements:
Periwinkle needs moderate watering 💧. Water the plants at the base, keeping the soil moist but not soaked.

5. Germination Time:
Periwinkle seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Trim back any leggy growth to encourage a fuller plant 🌺. Regularly remove dead flowers to promote new blooms.
