I stick with the periwinkles and once in a while a white one gets in the mix by mistake.<br /><br />Kay,<br />It's a mystery why they bloom at different intervals depending on their location.

I definitely need to move the one I have in full sun. The leaves are all bleached out. But, it has bloomed two stalks of beauty. I'm glad to hear you got some rain.

We have these growing in my church garden, and they do seem to do better in partial sun. I was debating where to plant mine at home, so thank you for your information about their sun/shade preference.

Such a relief!<br /><br />Daisy,<br />Some people say they do fine in lots of sun. I've never seen any that the foliage looks as healthy in those conditions.
