Vinca Planting & Care
· Grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun.
· Plant in the spring. (Veronica can be sowed by seed in containers in a cold frame in autumn but most people start this perennial as a transplant from the nursery.)
· Loosen the soil and mix in compost. Dig a hole twice the diameter of the plant’s container.
· When placing the plant in the hole, ensure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
· Water thoroughly.
CARE
· Water in the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week.
· Stake tall varieties.
· Keep covered with a thin layer of compost, followed by a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture.
· Deadhead to extend bloom time.
· After the first killing frost, cut back stems to an inch or two above the soil line.
· Divide perennials in autumn or spring every few years.
