    Periwinkle is a great choice to plant along the road because it doesn't get very tall, requires little maintenance once it's established and helps control erosion.

    Your plans sounds fine. Make sure you keep the weeds out while your Periwinkle is still young. Once it starts to take off, it will likely choke out everything else.

    This article may give you some helpful tips:

    Too much sun and too much water can cause the leaves to yellow and if the conditions persist, the plants can suffer root rot.

    Vinca prefer to grow in dry conditions.
    The links below will refresh you on the care requirements.
    I also included a link that lists the most common diseases in Vinca.

    Leave the blooms on the plants until the end of their bloom cycle.
    Remove the pods from the plants and pinch the pods until the seeds fall into a paper bag.
    Place the bag with seeds into a warm dry location for 3 weeks.
    Shake the bag daily to help them evenly dry.
    Place the dry seeds onto a tray and rub the seeds to remove the outer coating from the seeds.
    Store them in an envelope and place in dry, cool area. Do not seal them in a container, as they may mold.
    Seeds can be planted the following spring.

    There are many varieties of Vinca, and I do believe both leave sets are from Vinca Vine.

    You can do a hard prune on your plants. You can cut them to 4 to 6 inches above soil. Some gardeners actually mow the plant to make this hard prune.

    Here are some links to help you.

    It sounds like your plant may have Powdery Mildew.
