Notes
'First Kiss Blueberry' vinca (Catharanthus roseus 'First Kiss Blueberry') is an annual for borders, containers, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Sweet potato vine, Mexican bush sage, and Black-eyed Susan vine.
