Vinca Vine (sometimes called Common Periwinkle, Dwarf Periwinkle and Creeping Myrtle) is an herbaceous perennial that is native to Europe and southern Russia. It has small flowers that bloom in the spring and intermittently until frost, but is mostly known for its ground-covering foliage. Perennial to zone 7 , this tough little evergreen is great for bedding containers or combination planters.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Vinca Vine, we recommend using a constant feed program of 150-200 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 5.8 - 6.2.
Pinching
Pinching is recommended 5-10 days after transplantation.
Spacing
Can be grown pot tight in an 1801. Space pots adequately to allow for light penetration and airflow between foliage of adjacent pots. We recommend 6-8 inches for 4” pots and 18-24 inches for 10” pots. Height Control
Height Control
Maintaining high light intensity and pinching are the best way to control height. An initial pinch is recommended, but additional pinching may be necessary to shape your final product. Florel has been shown to be effective in decreasing the spacing between internodes in Vinca Vine.
Pests
Aphids, spider mites,and whiteflies are the primary pests attracted to Vinca Vine.
Disease
Maculata are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
Planting Maculata Liners
We recommend planting 4-5 starter plants per 10” basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4” pots, 2-3 plants per pot should be sufficient if you have enough time. When using three starters, plant them in a triangle in the middle of your pot.
Pinchingis recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
