How to prune pacifica vinca

Early spring when grown as a perennial; otherwise not needed for annuals. Cut stems back by one-half with clean shears in spring to promote bushy regrowth. Remove any frost-damaged or dead stems to the base. No deadheading required — spent flowers drop cleanly on their own.

If grown as a short-lived perennial in mild climates, cut back by about half in early spring to refresh straggly growth and encourage new flowering stems. Regular deadheading is not necessary as it is self-cleaning.
