    Growing Periwinkle in hot climate
    Hi,

    I live in the Middle East, so it is hot, hot, hot!

    I have periwinkle (sometimes referred to as Vinca). SOme are doing well, but I have noticed some of the leaves are turning yellow.

    Any ideas/advice?

    Thanks

    Vinca does grow faster in the shade. In the sun it can fade. Sounds like it's surviving in spite of the heat though. Do you have access to other varieties of it?

    Thanks for the comments. Well I have little choice - this vinca is in full sun! Poor things! I don't have access to other varieties here. Let's hope it holds on until September when things get cooler.

    I did choose it as this seems to be the hardiest of all flowering plants here. They are used to line the roadside so are in full sun

    Thanks
