- A unique twist on a classic trailing plant!
Variegated Vinca Vine brightens up green foliage and complements any color scheme. Its main feature is its stunning variegated leaves. It does produce small blue flowers, but it is insignificant compared to its foliage interest. Vinca Vine has a trailing habit of 8 to 12-inch spread that makes an impression all spring and summer long.
Vinca vine is a great go to plant that adds the final touch to a combination planter. It works great as a spiller when used in containers. It is self-cleaning, so no deadheading is needed. Native to Asia minor it is drought tolerant. You won’t catch deer nibbling on this plant either since it is deer resistant.
Proven Accents Variegated Vinca Vine Care
This is an easy to maintain vine. It requires part sun to full sun. Vinca vine requires moist, well-draining soil. Once established this plant can withstand drought. Shear it back in the spring to promote new growth. Apply regular fertilizer application in containers and apply compost or fertilizer annually in landscape beds.
Hardy to zones 7-11 it is perennial. From zones 6 and below it is an annual. The foliage and flowers last until frost hits. To overwinter, place vinca vine in a protected place indoors, near a south-facing window.
Proven Accents Variegated Vinca Vine Spacing
When planting in a landscape or container, space vinca vine 6 to 12 inches from adjacent plants. A minimum of 12-inch pot size is recommended in container planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
