Know before you buy
These are raw, untreated seeds. They come exactly as harvested, without any chemical coatings or pelleting.
Each plant will spread between 32 and 36 inches. Given their trailing habit, they are best suited for large hanging baskets, containers, or as a ground-covering filler in garden beds.
Temperature is critical. You must maintain a consistent soil temperature between 70-75°F for the seeds to germinate, which typically occurs within 4 to 6 days.
This variety is specifically bred for high tolerance to aerial Phytophthora. This makes it significantly more resilient in humid conditions compared to standard vinca varieties.
No, these are warm-season annuals. They require daytime temperatures of 75-80°F and nighttime temperatures of 65-70°F to thrive and maintain their vigorous growth.
