Notes

'Jams' vinca jellies blackberry (Catharanthus roseus 'Jams') is an annual for borders, containers, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast, stays erect, and handles dry spells well. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, which appear from early to late summer. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Give it a sunny spot and it will keep blooming.

Pairs well with Jowey Nicky dahlia, Hyacinth bean, and Golden Celebration rose.
