VIPER HEAT ELITE HYBRID (aka Heat Elite Giant Hybrid)
Vinca Seeds

'Viper' vincas grow quickly into large, mounding, 16 inch tall plants covered in massive, round flowers with overlapping petals. They flower earlier than other vincas, the tough plants are extremely disease tolerant and they deliver outstanding performance through both extreme heat and humidity. 'Viper' vincas also tolerate cool nights, which extends the vinca flowering season into the fall in most areas of the U.S.A. Trial grounds across the Country have been selecting 'Viper' as the best performing vinca series.

How to Plant VINCA Seeds

Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil and lightly cover. Needs darkness to germinate. Cover flat with newspaper and keep out of direct sun. Kept at 75-80°F., germination is in 10-21 days. Transplant into the garden 12 inches apart. Direct sowing is not recommended.
Comments: Full sun. In southwest desert climates, and in the hottest regions of the deep south, afternoon shade is preferred. Likes well-drained soil with average to low fertility. Tolerates drought, and high heat. In areas which are both hot and humid, the Cora, Solar, and Viper varieties perform best. Pinch back plants when young to promote bushy, branching growth. Flowers drop cleanly, no deadheading required. Deer and rabbit resistant. Attracts butterflies.
