Blue Vinca Catharanthus roseus
Product Description
Long-Flowering, Hardy Annual With Delicate Purple Blooms
Offering an array of beautiful purple blooms with dots of yellow at each center, the Blue Vinca makes an exceptional bedding plant. It especially likes drier soil and can be drought tolerant, so it does well in areas with hot and humid summers.
Requiring minimal watering and zero pruning, the Blue Vinca is easy to care for. Its blossoms resemble delicate impatiens, but have fewer petals in a pretty violet hue.
Rabbits tend not to eat the foliage and flowers of the Blue Vinca—meanwhile, pollinators love it. All season long, it will attract flocks of birds and butterflies to your landscape.
Grab this long-blooming annual before we run out of stock!
