Annual Vinca (Catharanthus roseus)

Annual Vinca (Catharanthus roseus), also known as Madagascar Periwinkle, is a heat-loving, low-maintenance annual prized for its nonstop blooms and ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions. Available in a wide range of colors, including pink, white, red, and lavender, vinca produces bright, star-shaped flowers with a small contrasting eye. Market pack varieties are ideal for borders, mass plantings, and containers, where their mounding and trailing growth habit provides season-long color. Resistant to deer, drought, and disease, vinca is a go-to choice for sunny landscapes that need vibrant, reliable blooms with minimal care.
