VINCA ROSEA

Pardon the overlit photo taken this morning of a neighbour's Vinca rosea (Periwinkle) overhanging the corridor parapet wall.

I actually like this wild purplish pink-flowered Periwinkle very much. Somehow the more commonly sold cultivars are not so drought tolerant compared to this. In fact, I love it so much that I planted them at HortPark's Flora Stitches and Home Garden.

I am trying to grow my Periwinkle to droop in this manner along my corridor too!
