periwinkle
Periwinkle is a rapidly growing, perennial, scrambling ground cover weed. It forms rhizomes and long trailing stems that root where they touch the ground. This is a very difficult weed to get rid of.
HOW TO CONTROL PERIWINKLE
Apply BUSTER with STICK SPRAY all year round. Follow up on re-sprouting areas twice a year.
Small patches can be dug out but ensure all roots are removed as these will re-sprout. Dispose of plant material at a refuse transfer station or burn. Check for regrowth.
