Description: Transform your garden with the vibrant and resilient Periwinkle Mix. This collection of Vinca rosea seeds is ideal for creating lush, colorful displays even in the toughest summer conditions. Known for its exceptional heat and drought resistance, Periwinkle thrives in hot southern climates, desert areas, and challenging locations such as near concrete walls or driveways where other plants may struggle.
From early summer until the first frost, Periwinkle Mix offers stunning blooms that are 2 inches across, with a spectrum of colors ranging from pure white to deep rose, each adorned with a striking contrasting eye. The glossy, neat foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the blooms, making this variety a top choice for edging, containers, hanging baskets, and ground cover. Whether you’re looking for a hardy plant to fill difficult areas or simply want to add long-lasting color to your garden, Periwinkle Mix is an excellent solution, providing beauty and resilience throughout the season.
Growing Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost. Cover seeds with 1/4 inch of potting mix and mist lightly to moisten. Since Periwinkle seeds need darkness to germinate, cover trays or containers with black plastic or newspaper, regularly lifting the cover to mist the soil. Once seedlings emerge, place them in bright light. When seedlings reach 2-3 inches tall, transplant the strongest ones into individual pots. Move the plants outdoors once temperatures consistently stay above 65°F (18°C). Direct sowing is not recommended, but if choosing this method, follow the same steps, ensuring temperatures are warm and soil is finely prepared.
