Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Vinca prefers well-draining soil. While it can tolerate various soil types, it thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil.
2. Sowing Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in seed-starting mix, covering them lightly with soil.
3. Germination: Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 10-14 days.
4. Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 8-12 inches apart. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
5. Direct Sowing: In mild climates, seeds can be sown directly outdoors in early spring. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination.

Growing Tips:

• Sunlight: Vinca thrives in full sun to partial shade. Ensure the plants receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods. Vinca is somewhat drought-tolerant but prefers consistent moisture.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and again midway through the growing season to support vigorous growth and blooming.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance.
• Pruning: Pinch back the tips of the plants to promote bushier growth and more blooms.
