This fabulous performer is for the hot summer garden. For hot, desert climates or a hard to maintain spot near a concrete wall or driveway, Vinca Rosea Dwarf is your ground cover plant. It seems to perform the best when other plants are wilting from the heat. This Vinca Rosea has blooms that are 2 inches across and the colors range from white to deep rose with tones in-between. The blooms have a large center eye with a contrasting color and are just gorgeous. The foliage is uniform and neat with shiny leaves. Cover the Vinca seeds with 1/4 inch of potting mix, spray with water to moisten and press down lightly. Vinca Rosea ground cover seeds will not germinate in any sort of light, so cover trays or containers with a black plastic sheet or a newspaper. Lift the plastic or newspaper regularly to moisten by misting. Once Periwinkle seedlings emerge, they need bright light. At about 2 - 3 inches tall, transplant the strongest plants into individual pots. Environment: Full sun. Soil Type: Moist, well-drained, pH 6.1 - 7.8 .
