”ROSE” THESE “ROSE” VINCA SEEDS WERE GROWN AND HANDPICKED ON MY FARM! THESE DUSTY ROSE PETALED BLOOMS LOOK BEAUTIFUL AGAINST THE DARK GREEN FOLIAGE. ALSO KNOWN AS PERIWINKLES, VINCAS HAVE BEEN A BEDDING FLOWER FAVORITE FOR MANY YEARS. THESE ANNUAL FLOWERS LOOK BEAUTIFUL PLANTED IN CONTAINERS, HANGING BASKETS, POTS, AS WELL AS IN A MASS PLANTING. PERIWINKLES ARE VERY EASY TO GROW FROM SEED, THEY PREFER A MOIST LOCATION, BUT ONCE ESTABLISHED THEY CAN TOLERATE DROUGHT. VINCAS GROW WELL EVEN IN POOR SOIL, AS LONG AS IT IS WELL DRAINING. PERIWINKLES WILL BLOOM PROFUSELY ALL SUMMER LONG UNTIL THE FIRST FROST. DEER WON’T EAT THEM!! PLANT VINCA SEEDS IN SUN TO PARTIAL SHADE. IF YOU PICK THE DEAD BLOOMS OFF, THEY WILL PRODUCE EVEN MORE FLOWERS. IN WARMER CLIMATES PERIWINKLES WILL RE-SEED THEMSELVES AND YOU'LL GET ANOTHER CROP THE NEXT YEAR! VINCA SEEDS ARE VERY TINY, AND IT’S BEST TO START THEM INDOORS ABOUT 6 TO 8 WEEKS BEFORE THE LAST FROST IN YOUR AREA. THE YOUNG PERIWINKLE PLANTS CAN THEN BE TRANSPLANTED OUTSIDE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. COMES WITH COMPLETE PLANTING & GROWING INSTRUCTIONS!
