Vinca Jams ‘N Jellies Blackberry

2012 AAS Flower Winner

Extremely unique, velvety deep purple with white eye flower color will add excitement to summer gardens.   This superb accent plant will work beautifully in Americana color schemes and in combination with blue, pink, white, or lavender. In some settings, the flower petals appear almost black, making this color a designer’s delight.  Easy to grow plants have excellent tolerance to drought and heat.  Mature plants will reach 10-14 inches tall making them a perfect medium height divider.  The 2-inch flowers are complimented by deep green shiny leaves creating a rich background for the richly dark flowers.

Keep humidity at 100% by covering flat with a clear plastic dome and keep out of direct sunlight.  Seed germinates in 3-5 days when at 75-78F.  Remove dome and transfer seedlings to well lit area at 65-75F to grow on.  When young plants are rooted well and easily pull out of cells, about 5 weeks, fill small pots with media and transplant young plants into the pots.  After an additional 5 to 6 weeks the plants can go into a garden or patio container.
