Vinca is an annual and very common flower in India that comes in a variety of colors and blooms throughout the year. It is also known as periwinkle, rosy periwinkle, and myrtle. Vinca’s beautiful five-petaled flowers and attractive glossy green leaves make it perfect for a terrace garden, balcony and home garden.
Vinca grows best in warm weather and prefers hot and dry areas. You can sow vinca seeds from mid-April to January but the summer season is an excellent time for planting.
Vinca is a small plant so it does not need large pots. Pots or grow bags about 9 to 15 inches wide and deep are good for this.
Sow vinca seeds 0.5 cm in the soil and when the soil temperature is 21-26°C for faster germination
It doesn’t need a lot of fertilizers, just add a balanced fertilizer monthly for better foliage, flower and plant health.
Vinca can grow in partial shade and full sunlight, but for best results, place the pot in an area that receives full sunlight in the morning and some partial shade during the afternoon.
Vinca require regular watering before they become established, they are drought tolerant once they mature so, moderate watering is good for this.
Periwinkle or vinca blooms from summer until cold days. Usually, it takes 2-3 months to bloom.
