Also, the ones in my pots, show new sprouts in spring. I transplant them into small containers, till they get to size for planting. They are so hearty, and easy to grow.
Happy to hear you have had luck. I have had a bad experience with my vincas. Something is digging them up and exposing the roots. I have replaced the plants three times and each time the same thing happens. Any ideas?
