Preparation

Vinca plants are perennial, meaning they live for several years. Choose a permanent position where plants can grow undisturbed by regular digging.

Vinca plants are best grown in full sun or part shade. Choose a location that will receive at least 3 hours of full sun each day.

Vinca plants need a well drained soil enriched with plenty of organic matter. Prepare soil by weeding it thoroughly, digging it over to loosen it and adding aged animal manure or compost. Keep the area free of weeds until planting.

Vinca plants can be grown in containers. If possible choose a variety that’s recommended for container growing. Use a good quality potting mix and make sure your container is large enough for mature plants; a minimum of 10 litres is recommended for vinca. During the growing season, keep in mind that container grown plants may need additional fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.
