At about 2 - 3 inches tall, transplant the strongest plants into individual pots. Periwinkles can be moved outside once the temperature is consistently above 65F degrees.

The pink Periwinkle plant produces large numbers of seeds, and especially in warmer climates, the seeds may sprout Periwinkle seedlings for next season.
