Vinca
vines are most hardy in zones 5 to 11, and should be treated
like an annual vine in colder climates. The vinca vine can
grow in full sunlight to shade and should be watered regularly,
with good drainage, to keep the soil moist. Too much water
can easily kill a vinca vine.
The vinca
vine, often called a periwinkle flower, is used often as a
grass substitute in lawn areas. The plant will only grow to
three to six inches off the ground, but the trailing stems
of the vinca vine can spread up to eighteen inches.

| One
thing to note about the vinca vine, however, is that it is
extremely invasive. This means that the vine will easily spread
throughout the garden quickly and can overwhelm other plants.
Great care needs to be taken to ensure that the vinca vine
does not take over the entire garden.
