| Cultivation:
The 'Cooler' series is a Pan American seed product. Its
vividly large 1 1/4" flowers are accented by a bright eye in
the center of the flower. They are said to be more tolerant of
cool and wet conditions than other varieties of Vinca. These plants are suitable for beds as edging, the annual rock
garden or grown
in containers.
Plant in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil either
in beds or containers. "Vinca" will perform well in
most any soil type so long as it drains. Space plants 6" to 8" apart depending on how quickly you want the area to
fill in. Once the plants have become established, water them
infrequently as... "Vinca" is very drought tolerant.
During times of drought the leaves may curl up... but they will
un-curl again at night. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid
fertilizer.

Blush, Coconut, Grape, Icy Pink, Orchid, Peppermint, Pink,
Raspberry Red, Red, Rose, Strawberry, and a mix.
