Plant Care:
LIGHT
Annual vinca loves full sun. It will tolerate part shade but may become leggy if there is too much shade.
WATER:
Overwatering is a common error with annual vinca. Only water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Weekly moderate watering is best, but if there’s regular rainfall, refrain from watering as this plant thrives in dry soil.
TEMPERATURE and HUMIDITY
This plant thrives in hot and humid weather. It will languish a bit if planted too early in the cool spring, and will begin to diminish as the weather cools in fall.
FERTILIZER
For the bed, apply compost or use slow-release fertilizer at planting. Container-grown plants require more frequent feeding, as nutrients deplete with watering.
