Catharanthus roseus; Madagascar Periwinkle is a much loved, easy to grow flowering plant.
The flowers are not scented but make up by the sheer volume of blooms and flowers continuously from early summer into winter.
They come in many shades from red to pink and white . I usually buy them in punnets in the nursery if I fancy a new colour. Generally I always find seedlings in the garden to replant.

These are very beautiful - pictures seems so real that you could almost feel the flower.
A flower that I grow every summer as fillins and gives a great splash of contrast in the summer perennial garden!Pinks are my colors too!
Love the Vinca or Periwinkle......
Very beautiful! I don't know which is my favorite.

They are so very pretty and thank goodness not rampant like the blue Periwinkle so often seen on graves.
Your garden must be splendent just now!
What a pretty little flower. I don't think I've actually seen them in a flowerbed, maybe a container though.

Lovely in pink!
I find these some of the easiest to grow and they do indeed last all summer.
Titania: What a beautiful little flower in full bloom.
