Growing Specifications
This bulk pack contains 60 plants, each in a 9cm recyclable nursery pot. Plants arrive at 10-25cm height and spread rapidly to form dense coverage. Space plants 8-12 inches apart for optimal coverage within one to two growing seasons. Vinca minor 'Blue and Gold' grows 4-6 inches tall and spreads by trailing stems that root as they creep along the ground.
Ideal Uses
Perfect for underplanting trees, covering slopes and hillsides, edging pathways, and filling difficult shaded areas. The trailing habit also makes it suitable for containers and hanging baskets where it cascades beautifully over edges. Use in woodland gardens, beneath shrubs, or as a living mulch in border plantings.
Care Instructions
Plant in well-drained soil in partial to full shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, Vinca minor 'Blue and Gold' is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. Prune or shear lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Adaptable to most soil types and hardy in zones 4-9.
