NIKA SEEDS - Flowers Periwinkle Madagascar Mix - 40 Seeds

  PERIWINKLE MADAGASCAR MIXThe perennial flowering plant that grows up to 8 16" tall. Beautiful flowers in a great variety of colors, up to 1" in diameter. Used for arrangements and flower beds. Planting instructions:  Spring and early fall are considered the best times to plant Periwinkle. It prospers in dappled sunlight but will also grow in full sun and even in dense shade. Use it instead of mulch under trees and shrubs to control weeds, or plant it in difficult-to-mow areas. Myrtle’s tenacious root system makes it an ideal choice for controlling erosion on steep banks.  Prepare the ground by tilling in a one-inch layer of peat moss or compost and an application of complete fertilizer to a depth of six inches. Space the young plants or divisions about eight inches apart. When you are finished, soak the entire planting, and mulch the area lightly with pine needles or bark. Water and weed the planted area frequently during its first season. Soon new shoots will spread out and root into the spaces between the plants, spreading joy all over the ground.
