Steps:
Timing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area.

Prepare the Soil: Fill seed trays or pots with a well-draining seed starting mix or potting soil.

Sow the Seeds: Sow Vinca Rosea ‘Really Red’ seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate.

Watering: Water gently to avoid displacing the seeds. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Provide Light and Warmth: Place the trays or pots in a warm location with plenty of light. Maintain a temperature of around 75-80°F (24-27°C).

Germination: Vinca Rosea ‘Really Red’ seeds usually germinate in 10-21 days. Keep the soil consistently moist during this time.

Thin Seedlings: Once the seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them out to one strong seedling per pot.

Transplanting: Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Transplant them into well-draining soil in a sunny location after the last frost.

Care: Water Vinca Rosea ‘Really Red’ plants regularly, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
