Our pretty magenta Vinca are planted in a large container with a pink geranium. We have noticed that geraniums don&#8217;t do as well when they have to share a container. Vincas are one of our top &#8220;maintenance-free&#8221; plants! Here are 7 reasons to grow and enjoy Vincas in your garden:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Vincas are drought-tolerant, so they don&#8217;t require much water. When the leaves begin to shrivel, the plan needs water.<\/li>\n<li>Vincas do not require fertilizer. However, if you like to apply fertilizer, use an organic fertilizer such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001R4OJRS\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001R4OJRS&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=itsgati-20&amp;linkId=O62BWQMA5CQLA74K\">Espoma PT4 4-Pound Plant-Tone Organic 5-3-3 Plant Food<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=itsgati-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001R4OJRS\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>.<\/li>\n<li>Vincas do not require pruning. The spent blooms fall off by themselves.<\/li>\n<li>Vincas do well in sun, part-sun and shade! If they get too much sun, the leaves will fade.<\/li>\n<li>Vincas are deer resistant, which is a huge relief if you have deer snacking on your flowers every night!<\/li>\n<li>Vincas are fungus resistant.<\/li>\n<li>Vincas are insect resistant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=itsgati-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B000BQL8UY&amp;asins=B000BQL8UY&amp;linkId=WZVIUX7MVRXEC7ZZ&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=itsgati-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B001R4OJRS&amp;asins=B001R4OJRS&amp;linkId=WQW4KO4RJJEDBHQM&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=itsgati-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B002727B9M&amp;asins=B002727B9M&amp;linkId=WIOLKUDTC4UFRIMP&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?t=itsgati-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=12&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=patiolawngarden&amp;banner=0YVS25GY32NNWSM44Y82&amp;f=ifr&amp;linkID=IUMNYHFVVVGWQRGJ\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For beginner gardeners, Vinca are an excellent choice!
