Notes
'Jaio Scarlet Eye' vinca (Catharanthus roseus 'Jaio Scarlet Eye') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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 it handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Sedge, and Black-eyed Susan vine.
