Periwinkles (Vinca) are small flowering plants prized in gardens for their cheerful blooms and ability to spread as ground cover. The five-petaled blue or purple flowers typically bloom in spring and summer, tolerating both sun and partial shade. These hardy, low-maintenance plants have been cultivated for centuries and appear in folklore as symbols of friendship and remembrance.
