Growing Non-GMO Mediterranean XP Series Vinca Flower Seeds

Since Mediterranean XP vinca seeds are slow to reach full maturity, sow indoors 10-12 weeks before the final frost date. Sow seeds on the soil's surface. Mediterranean XP vinca seeds are also slow to germinate and will require 10-21 days in complete darkness. Once germinated, move Mediterranean XP seeds to a sunny window sill or fluorescent grow light until four true leaves have developed. Transplant Mediterranean XP seedlings into your favorite decorative indoor container or basket and harden off if transplanting outside. Transplant Mediterranean XP vinca seeds outside into average, loamy, and well-drained soil at least 8 inches apart in full sun.

Mediterranean XP Vinca, once established, can withstand many hot and drought-prone climates. Vinca can also be directly sown outdoors after the final frost but this is only recommended for areas with very long growing seasons as the plant may not flower if not given enough time.

Mediterranean XP Series Vinca will thrive in the sun with deadheading as they decline in the long summer months. Mediterranean XP Series Vinca is a dwarfed 4-6 inches tall variety and should be planted on the south end of the garden to avoid too much shade. When transplanting seedlings from indoors to outside, acclimate them slowly to their new environment. Place them outside for a few hours a day and gradually increase the duration until they are ready to transplant. This process helps the plants to develop a “thicker skin” capable of handling the harsher outdoor elements after being protected indoors. It is important to deadhead the flowers regularly and provide the plants with adequate water and nutrients to encourage healthy growth and plentiful blooms.
