10 Seeds Apricot Vinca Catharanthus roseus Bright Annual Flower

Apricot Vinca, also known as Catharanthus roseus, is a warm-season annual valued for its soft apricot blooms and glossy green foliage. It grows into a compact, bushy plant that flowers continuously through the summer, making it a favorite for gardeners who want reliable, long-lasting color in beds, borders, and containers. The pelleted seed coating makes the tiny seeds easier to see and handle during sowing.
These plants work well in mass plantings, edging, hanging baskets, and mixed patio pots, where their tidy habit and steady bloom production add season-long interest. Flowers are attractive to pollinators and hold up well in heat once established. Apricot Vinca performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate, consistent moisture.
