25-30cm, early and uniform flowering with large, round flowers and broad overlapping petals. Excellent basal branching and round habit. Heat-loving plant for borders and flower beds, containers and window boxes.
Fertilization :Moderate fertilization levels are required. Fertilize the crop weekly with 150-200 ppm nitrogen, using a potassium balanced fertilizer (N: K2O-ratio: 1:1,5). Avoid high ammonium and high nitrogen levels. Prevent magnesium deficiency by applying magnesium sulphate (0,025 %) 1-2 times and in case of iron deficiency apply iron-chelate for 1-2 times. The roots are sensitive to high salt levels in substrates. Avoid high fertilizer concentrations, it is advisable to fertilize several times with low concentrations weekly.
Cultural Hints: Cultivate as warm and as dry as possible, because Vinca needs a warm and dry location. Avoid wet substrate, high relative humidity, over head irrigation and wet foliage during the night. For irrigation use only warm water. A pinching of the plants is not required.
Vinca Mix does not include 'First Kiss Blueberry'.
