Growing Vinca Tattoo™ Black Cherry from Seed

Starting vinca from seed may take some patience, but the results are worth it. Here’s how to grow strong, healthy Tattoo Black Cherry plants:

  • Start Indoors: Sow seeds indoors about 10–12 weeks before your last frost. Cover lightly, since vinca needs darkness to germinate.

  • Germination: Seeds usually sprout within 10–15 days at a warm 75–78°F.

  • Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors only after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8–10 inches apart to allow airflow and healthy growth.

  • Care: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Fertilize lightly every 3–4 weeks for vibrant, long-lasting blooms.

With proper care, Tattoo™ Black Cherry will flower continuously from spring into fall.
