Tattoo Tangerine Vinca produces vivid tangerine-colored flowers that hold their freshness exceptionally well as cut blooms. The variety prefers warm germination conditions between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, sprouting reliably within 6 to 15 days when seeds are sown indoors and lightly covered. Fresh-cut flowers can be harvested in the morning when petals are just opening, and a few drops of bleach in the vase will extend their beauty considerably.
Tattoo Tangerine Vinca excels as a cut flower, where its tangerine blooms bring warm color to fresh arrangements. The variety also performs well in containers and garden borders, thriving in full sun where its flowering is most prolific.
Sow seeds indoors in a sterile seedling mix, covering them lightly. Maintain soil temperature between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit for germination to occur within 6 to 15 days. Keep soil consistently moist during germination.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once air and soil temperatures have warmed and frost danger has passed. The variety requires warm conditions for vigorous growth.
For fresh-cut flowers, harvest in the morning when flowers are at their freshest and petals are just beginning to open. Cut with a clean knife that has been dipped in a solution of 10 percent household bleach to prevent disease transmission.
