Unfortunately another first for Red Hill - Vinca is rarely known to reproduce by seed in Australia. Red Hill is the first of such sites in the ACT and wider region - which will complicate control and the need for follow up
User's notes
About 150 seedlings emerged from seed after large patch of largely suckering spread had been dug out
