Growing Pacifica XP Vinca Garden Seeds

For earliest blooms, sow Pacifica XP vinca seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before final frost date. Pacifica XP vinca seeds can be slow to germinate and may require 10-21 days in complete darkness. Once germinated, move to sunny window spacing or fluorescent grow light until four true leaves have developed. Transplant vinca seedlings to decorative indoor container or pot and harden off if transplanting outside. Outside, plant Pacifica XP Series vinca seeds 1/8 inch deep and 6 inches apart in average, loamy, and well-drained soil with full sun. Unlike other vincas, Pacifica XP seeds are more tolerant of direct sunlight and do not require shade. Pacifica XP vincas are known for their hardiness in both hot, arid climates, yet still able to thrive in cool, wet conditions. Pacifica XP vinca seeds mature in 98-105 days as 10-12 inch tall compact mounds with a neat 6-8 inch spread sprinkled in radiant 2 inch blooms.

Vincas are native to the warmer climates of Europe, northwest Africa, and southwest Asia. The genus Vinca has more than 86 known valuable alkaloids amongst its species that the medical community utilizes everyday for chemotherapy medications specializing in childhood cancers, leukemias, and lymphomas.
