Periwinkle Question (lemmy.world)

Noob here. I haven't planted any perennials, except a peony. Until this year, with a row of periwinkle that I'm attempting to grow up both sides of a lattice. It's working out pretty awesome. They're maybe 20 inches tall, weaving back and forth through horizontal slats.

I want to keep the party going next year, but I'm unable to find out if periwinkle will continue growing in the new year, or if the whole stem dies and has to grow from scratch. I'm aware this question totally unveils how ignorant I am about flowers. Hahah

It's probably not the answer you're looking for, but depending where you live, periwinkle is considered an invasive species and it's generally recommended to plant something else.

what's perennial depends on where you are. Even tomatoes are perennial in some places 🤷
