Description




Our high-quality vinca rosea seeds come with reliable germination rate and bushy compact growth habit. Botanically named Catharanthus roseus, vinca rosea also known as Madagascar periwinkle is a tough warm-season flowering plant featuring shiny dark green leathery leaves and five-petaled flat blooms in multiple soft colors.
It possesses remarkable heat resistance and outstanding drought tolerance, keeping non-stop flowering from early summer all the way until hard frost arrives. Widely used for large-scale flower bedding, pathway borders, slope greening, hanging baskets and balcony pot decoration. Vinca rosea adapts well to most loose well-drained ordinary soils and dislikes overly humid and waterlogged environments. It only requires watering when the soil turns dry and occasional deadheading, making it a perfect hassle-free option for hot climate landscaping and novice gardeners.

Planting Instructions

  1. Soil Preparation: Select loose, breathable, well-drained loamy soil; avoid heavy clay soil and low-lying waterlogged areas to prevent root rot.
  2. Sowing Method: Sprinkle seeds evenly on the soil surface, cover with a thin 0.5cm soil layer and press gently to ensure close contact with soil.
  3. Germination Condition: Keep topsoil slightly moist without standing water, maintain stable temperature 20–28°C, seeds germinate within 10–20 days.
  4. Seedling Care: Thin overcrowded seedlings to guarantee sufficient ventilation and growing space; full sunlight encourages dense branches and abundant blooms.
  5. Daily Maintenance: Water moderately only after soil dries completely; improve air circulation to reduce fungal disease risk, remove faded flowers regularly to extend blooming time.
