has anyone got any ideas what form of periwinkle this is. It seems to have much slender petals than the normal. Its actually growing on a footpath that I take on my way to work

I think it is Vinca major "Hirsuta" too.

I agree with Gilli I'm sure its V major 'Hirsuta'.

thanks everyone. I think Gilli and rbt are right although the petals in mine are slightly longer and more pointed. I think I will try and get some cuttings on my way back from work on monday and try growing it, its a lovely deep blue

I'm wondering if it might be vinca major hirsuta, but I'm not sure. That subspecies is supposed to have darker blue/purple flowers and narrower petals. I've never seen one before though.
