March

Vinca – In the first few years, sprinkle a handful or two of slow-acting granular fertilizer on the soil around Vincas in the spring if their soil is poor. Do NOT allow it to settle on the leaves. This will supply a season's nutrition for these plants. Once they are well established, Vincas do not need routine supplemental feeding.

April

Vinca – Plant Vinca seedlings purchased at the garden center or nursery as soon as danger of frost is past and the soil is warm. 

May

Vinca - Rejuvenate large plantings by mowing them at your lawnmower's highest blade setting.  Remove flower stalks after bloom, to prevent reseeding and improve their appearance. This deadheading also encourages a possible second flowering later in the season.

June

Vinca - Encourage sparsely-growing spots to fill in by pinching off the stem tips.

July

Vinca – Vinca will need watering whenever rainfall is scarce, especially if their soil is not healthy and lacks enough humus to hold moisture. Try not to let their soil dry out totally for long.

August

September

Vinca - Pruning normally isn't required for Vinca, although it may be necessary to clip off new plants that are formed from the spreading runners if they grow beyond their allotted space. Thin out Vinca plants when their bed becomes overcrowded.
