How to care for Vinca minor Azurea Flore Pleno:
Plant into a well-prepared border or woodland margin with plenty of organic matter (well-rotted compost) - Vinca does not like to dry out during the summer.
To prevent the plant from spreading, cut back any unwanted shoots in spring, and where necessary, lift and divide congested clumps at this time.
