Gardens – Lush Outdoor Carpet

Gardens – Lush Outdoor Carpet

Vinca is a beautiful ground cover.  But getting it to look like a thick carpet is difficult. It tends to look… spindly for a long time.

Landscape architects and horticulturists like to select vinca as a ground cover.  Its green pebbles will eventually create a carpet like effect. Vinca is one of the few plants sporting blue flowers.. The star-like flowers bloom with daffodils and tulips for beautiful spring color compositions.

The question is how long will this take?  So here is the must-know GARDENING TRICK: after the initial vinca installation feed vinca with Holly-tone every six weeks (!) in the growing seasons of year one and two.

We reported before on the spectacular results of feeding azaleas and rhododendron with Holly-tone– we wrote about this magic dust before. It is a natural fertilizer for acid loving plants. Nurture your plants chemical free.  Simply dust vinca beds with Holly-tone and see for yourself!
