Plant Care

White Periwinkle requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to develop a deep root system. After establishment, it becomes drought tolerant. Trim back occasionally to maintain desired shape and prevent spreading into unwanted areas. This plant is resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens.

Planting Instructions

Plant White Periwinkle in spring or fall for best results. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for spreading. Add organic matter to the soil if needed, and water thoroughly after planting. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around plants, keeping it away from the stems to prevent rot. For container planting, use well-draining potting soil and ensure proper drainage holes.
