Plant in partial to full shade for optimal variegation - the golden leaf edges remain vibrant even in deep shade, unlike many variegated plants. Space plants 30-45cm apart for ground cover use, or closer (20-30cm) for faster coverage. Tolerates full sun in cooler climates but may experience leaf scorch in hot, sunny positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater consistently during establishment, after which the plant becomes relatively drought-tolerant. Trim back any winter-damaged growth in early spring before new growth begins. If the planting becomes too dense or starts climbing nearby plants, trim as needed. No fertilization is typically required, though a light spring application of balanced fertilizer promotes vigorous growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinca minor 'Aureovariegata' excels as ground cover for challenging areas including steep banks, under trees, and in deep shade where grass struggles.
