A New Look For Your Vinca

 

 

If your vinca has become tall and leggy, don’t worry—there’s an easy way to bring it back to life. A simple trim can transform floppy, overgrown plants into compact, bushy mounds that will be covered in fresh blooms again in just two to three weeks.

 
 

How to Refresh Leggy Vinca

 

• Step 1: Give the plants a blunt haircut, cutting them back to about 3 inches tall. Don’t worry about making perfect cuts—just trim them evenly.

• Step 2: Feed immediately after trimming with a water-soluble fertilizer, such as Miracle-Gro®, and continue feeding once a week for the next three weeks.

• Step 3: Watch for vigorous new growth. The plants will begin producing multiple new branches, each capable of developing fresh blooms.

• Step 4: Be patient! They won’t look their best immediately after the trim, but once the new growth appears, the flowers will quickly follow.

 
 

A Quick Mid-Summer Makeover

 

This simple maintenance trick is one of the fastest ways to rejuvenate tired-looking vinca. With just a little pruning and regular feeding, you’ll enjoy fuller plants, more blooms, and a fresh, tidy look that lasts through the rest of the growing season.
