| Cultivation:
The 'Sunstorm' series of Periwinkle is also a Pan American seed product. Its
large 2" flowers are accented by a bright eye of contrasting
color in
the center of the flower. This variety is more compact than the
Cooler series. Sunstorm is a self branching variety that tolerates
both cool early season temperatures as well as late summer heat. These plants are suitable for beds as edging, the annual rock garden... or grown
in containers. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil either
in beds or containers. Vinca will perform well in
most any soil type so long as it drains. Space plants 6" to 8" apart depending on how quickly you want the area to
fill in. Once the plants have become established, water them
infrequently as Vinca is very drought tolerant.
During times of drought the leaves may curl up... but they will
un-curl again at night. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid
fertilizer.
Available colors: Apricot,
Blush, Bright Red, Lilac, Orchid, Pink, Rose, White, and a mix.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Rare.
