Notes

'Pretty In Rose' vinca (Catharanthus roseus 'Pretty In Rose') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. 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 blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant.

Pairs well with Ageratum, Sedge, and Pacific Beauty calendula.
