VINCA

Vinca is a widely used bedding plant to add bright color to full sun locations in the garden.  First, let’s clear up a bit of confusion about the name:  The annual vinca we are talking about is also known as Periwinkle.  It is a very colorful summer annual that does not come back after Winter.  The other kind of Vinca is a groundcover that likes shady areas and does come back each year – but it is only colorful when it blooms with its blue flowers in early Spring.

Trailing Vinca is sometimes called Mediterranean Vinca.  It has a more horizontal growth habit which makes it great for planting near the edges of pots and window boxes.  It flows over the edge with a big show of color.  All of our Trailing Vinca is in the disease resistant Cascade Cora line.  We have both 4″ pots for mixing into your planters as well as big finished 12″ Hanging Baskets ready to hang up and enjoy!
