Looks like a type of fescue. Quack grass is like crabgrass with thick blades. Stands out like a sore thumb and this time of year is turning yellow before the turf grass is. It also grows low to the ground, not stringy like your pic.
Best way I've found to get rid of grass in planting beds is to skim the top 2-3 inches of soil and toss it in the trash and bring in new soil to replace it. Any shred of root left will resprout and you'll be back at square one in a year if you try to pull or till it. Or if the periwinkle is just going to grow there, fill in the soil you remove with wood chips. Lay it deep and nothing grows through it. You can usually get heaps of them free.
