I have tried to plant them for years, but everytime they brown and wither then completely die. I have changed the soil completely and they die one at a time so I don't think it's the amount of light they are getting or they would all look bad.
Why do my periwinkles/vinca shrivel up and die one by one?
planting them too early in the season
Reply:You want mine? They are taking over my lawn and garden!!
Mine live in a shady spot under the trees in my yard, and have just kept spreading. I'm not sure what kind of nutrition is in that soil, but it's much more damp.
Reply:They respond well to sun but need lots and lots of water either morning or night. I have planted them for years and have great succss. They even tolerate heat.
Reply:They do need a lot of water. I have many vinca in containers and must water them at least every other day. They also require a lot of sun. They can stand partial shade (that is, shade in the morning or afternoon), but don't do well in a very shady area.
Mine are pretty hardy, but they are easy to lose if they don't get enough water.
