Catharanthus roseus

Rosea Tall is a hardy, free-flowering Vinca producing an abundance of simple, five-petalled flowers in a pretty mixture of carmine, rose and white. Growing to approximately 40 cm tall, the bushy plants provide reliable colour over a long flowering season.

Also known as Madagascar Periwinkle, Vinca thrives in warm conditions and is particularly valuable for gardens where heat and periods of dry weather can challenge other flowering plants. Its compact habit makes it ideal for borders, mass plantings, containers and sunny garden beds.

Plants perform best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and develop good drought tolerance once established. Avoid overwatering or poorly drained positions, particularly during cooler weather. Although perennial in warm, frost-free climates, Vinca is commonly grown as an annual in cooler regions.
