Notes
'Stardust Orchid' vinca (Catharanthus roseus 'Stardust Orchid') 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 pass it by. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the erect plants bloom in summer and autumn.
Pairs well with Ageratum, Pacific Beauty calendula, and Sedge.
