Periwinkle is a common flower in Indian households. It usually comes in pink and white flower varieties. It is low maintenance and multiplies fast. It also has medicinal properties.

  1. My husband planted these in my flower beds after our first son was born. They were so pretty. Then he fertilized them with garden fertilizer and they all died. He has a tendency to add too much of everything.
