VINCA MINOR 1qt

Introduce easy, elegant ground cover to your yard with Vinca minor, also known as Dwarf Periwinkle. This hardy and reliable plant creates a lush, evergreen mat that is perfect for suppressing weeds on slopes, under trees, and in other difficult-to-mow areas. In spring, it bursts to life with a profusion of delicate, star-shaped blue or purple flowers that provide a beautiful splash of color. Growing to a low 6 inches high and spreading up to 18 inches wide, it's a fantastic solution for covering large spaces with minimal effort. Vinca minor thrives in USDA zones 7 and 8 and is adaptable to a variety of light conditions, from full shade to part sun. Its thick, dense foliage also makes it resistant to animals.

To get your Vinca minor started on the right foot, prepare the area by loosening the native soil. Incorporate Watters Premium Mulch to improve drainage and enrich the soil with organic matter. This will create a healthy foundation for the roots. After planting, sprinkle Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food around the base of each plant. This slow-release local formula, enriched with cottonseed meal and bird guano, provides a steady supply of nutrients, encouraging robust root development and lush, spreading growth. Water deeply after planting, and a few times a week until the plant is established.
