Is it better to plant vinca plants at the bottom of a slope and let it grow up, or at the top of a slope and let it trail down?

all plants tend to grow more towards light so base the decision on that.
Vinca I would plant at the top, mine doesn't support its own weight so it will hang down the slope.
Ive got it on top of a stone wall, grows everywhere but fills a space and seems to flower almost all year round.
Ah thank you Lyn
Sorry Nut, but I'd start it at the top too.
I think it's easier to spread out the stems downhill as they grow, rather than uphill.

I have a similar bank and based on what nut said I'll plant mine at the top and let it grow down. Makes perfect sense now...of course.
