Toxic Garden Plants

[Mamphers]

hi guys

Suns finally out here so in the garden with the pigs. Slightly worried about some periwinkle that has appeared on our lawn, or what I think is periwinkle. Can anyone confirm from the picture?

Is this toxic to pigs? I’d put them in the pen before I’d realised and they’d ingested a little. I’ve since moved the pen to a periwinkle free zone.

Any help greatly appreciated! My pig buddy says pigs are generally smart and won’t eat what will make them sick, but my pigs are mainly indoor pigs and are thick as the proverbial!

Tia!

The pink flowers are a dead nettle variety and are not poisonous.
If you want to see what periwinkle looks like, I would recommend to google it!

Thanks, I had but I’m useless at plants and also colour blind. So there’s that.

You can still go by foliage and flower form.
