Vinca Flower Growing Season In India
Periwinkle or vinca grows best in warm weather and prefers hot and dry areas. You can sow vinca seeds from mid-April to January but the summer season is an excellent time for planting. 

How To Grow Vinca In Pots 
It grows well both by direct sowing or seedling transplanting method. Sow the seeds when the soil temperature is 21-26°C for faster germination. Vinca is a small plant so it does not need large pots. Pots or grow bags about 22-36 cm wide and deep are good for this.

Vinca Pacific Mix Hybrid Seeds Sowing Method 
• Take a seedling tray or small pot and fill it with a potting mix, you can also make your own potting mix by mixing 20% cocopeat, 30% vermicompost, 30% garden soil and 20% sand. Sow vinca seeds 0.5 cm in the soil. Do not place the seedling tray in direct sunlight, keep them in indirect sunlight. Water the soil gently through a watering can and keep them moist until germination; vinca can germinate in about 4-10 days.
• After seed germination when vinca seedlings have a few true leaves, you can transplant them into pots or grow bags. Remember, plant only one seedling in each 22 cm pot for healthy growth. Keep the soil moist and place the pot in partial sunlight for a few days after transplanting to protect the seedling from transplant shock. After 3 days, keep the pot in full sunlight.

Sunlight : Vinca can grow in partial shade and full sunlight, but for best results, place the pot in an area that receives full sunlight in the morning and some partial shade during the afternoon.
