1. Love the Blue ones.

Here in Vegas,we are able to enjoy Vinca's year around. Have several post of mixed,Red White and Blue.

2. I dug these up from my nephew's property in North Carolina

So, every time they bloom, I smile and think of him, his wife, and my lovely grandniece.

3. Just started using Vincas last July as a replacement

for our Geraniums . Last July we hit two days of Record Temps here in Vegas. Had two mix Vinca's in direct sun on both of those days. Talk about heat tolerant,wow,boiled the roots of the Geraniums within five hours on day one. Those two Vincas just smiled and said bring it one.

BTW,tomorrow we are going to hit the Green House for a couple dozen new plants to replace our Lantana's .

BTW,next spring just cut them back to 6 inch above the ground. Our Park Board and at UNLV just take the lawn Mower and wack them off. Talk about a color explosion a couple weeks later.
