Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar Periwinkle), a native to Madagascar, is a semiwoody evergreen perennial, usually grown as an annual in the flower bed. http://www.floridata.com/ref/C/cath_ros.cfm
Seen here are cultivars "Grape Cooler' (top), 'Pacifica Red' (right) and 'Apricot Delight' (left).
Here periwinkle major or bigleaf periwinkle, given by in-law. This perennial plant can be weedy or invasive according to many websites ... hmm yet to be seen. We transplant on the ground next to miniature rose after a month to allow it to adjust to a new location.
