My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Vinca Stem Rot - Disease Resistant

8 years ago

Marketing disclaimers aside, vinca's listed as disease resistant - are they 100% resistent or -less suspect but still not impervious ?


It was raining for like forever for almost a week ? I've got a couple of Vinca Coras (supposedly Phytophthora fungus) resistant. Anyhow, post rainy weeklong weather, I've pulled out/thinned out 3 of them that definitely have various levels of stem rot going on. Grr. Annual beds have like mini bald spots.
