Description

The first of a new breed in trailing Vincas! Specifically for baskets and containers they are early flowering with large, rounded, overlapping petals forming striking, vivid blooms.

Sowing Instructions

Sow in pots or trays of good seed compost. Place in a propagator or warm place, providing a temperature of 20-30C (68-86F). Cover with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Sow February to March. After sowing, place in a dark position until seedlings emerge. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged, germination will usually take 14-21 days.

Aftercare

Provide a ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun, spacing plants by 30cm (12in). Can also be grown as pot plants, provide a container at least 23cm (9in) in size.
