Sowing

1. Timing:

   • Indoors: Start seeds 8-10 weeks before the last frost date.

   • Outdoors: Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed.

2. Method:

   • Use a seed-starting mix.

   • Scatter seeds on the surface and press lightly into the soil. Do not cover with soil as seeds need light to germinate.

3. Temperature:

   • Maintain 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Germination

• Timeframe: Seeds germinate in 7-14 days under ideal conditions.

• Moisture: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Light: Provide bright light for seedlings.

Transplanting

• Move seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they have at least two sets of true leaves.

• Space plants 8-12 inches apart to allow for mature growth.

Care and Maintenance

1. Watering:

   • Water regularly to keep soil moist, but vinca is drought-tolerant once established.

2. Fertilizing:

   • Use a balanced all-purpose fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support blooms.

3. Deadheading and Pruning:

   • Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Trim any dead or damaged foliage as needed.

4. Mulching:

   • Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and reduce weeds.

Happy Gardening!
