I am a novice at gardening but a "wannabe" ! I have an old home, hilly terrain (very hilly) and my desire to have some colorful and decorative landscaping is real this spring. This is something I would like to know more about, anyway. So, thank you, I have my to do list started, I will come back to this group again to see what else is in discussion!

I have never planted periwinkle (vinca) and it just started growing peacebuzzard Apr 2017 #11

Something was amiss with my comment. Yes, vinca is periwinkle, a vine. I meant to advise planting sprinkleeninow Apr 2017 #12

Ai chihuahua! Man, I'm loopy. I elaborated re: vinca, periwinkle and impatiens and replied to sprinkleeninow Apr 2017 #13
