Zone: RED MYRTLE
Vinca red, a standout annual selection is prized for its bold and dramatic impact in summer garden displays. It produces flowers in deep, saturated shades of crimson or scarlet, which often feature a small, contrasting center eye. The petals have a velvety texture that holds up remarkably well under the bleaching effects of intense sunlight. Its foliage is composed of the signature glossy, dark green leaves that provide a lush, sophisticated contrast to the fiery red blooms, making it a favorite for creating high-contrast focal points in both garden beds and mixed seasonal planters.
The ideal spot for Vinca red is a location that enjoys full, unobstructed sun for the majority of the day. Because it is native to tropical regions, it thrives in high temperatures and is notably resistant to the typical mid-summer slump that affects many other flowering annuals. It requires soil that is porous and well-drained, as it is highly susceptible to root rot if kept in consistently soggy conditions. This low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for a hot, south-facing border or a decorative patio pot where its rich color can be appreciated up close.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first few weeks. Provide partial shade, especially in warmer climates, to prevent scorching. Fertilize lightly during the growing season. To ensure the most vibrant red color and a continuous supply of new buds, place it in an area with good air movement and avoid overhead watering when possible.
