Catharanthus (Annual Vinca)

Catharanthus, (Kan-ter-en-KUS) commonly known as Annual Vinca or Madagascar Periwinkle, is a heat-loving annual that produces abundant, five-petaled flowers throughout the growing season. Available in shades of pink, purple, white, salmon, red, and even bi-colored varieties, Annual Vinca adds continuous color to gardens and containers. Vinca plants, thanks to imaginatively-artistic breeders, are now available with flowers that have violet-like petals, are deeply scalloped and frilly looking, or that resemble an itty bitty hibiscus bloom. All of its blossoms have a contrasting eye, while its glossy, dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for those gleeful blooms. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil with moderate watering.
