Vinca 'Pacifica Apricot': Unique Apricot Tones for Sunny Gardens

Vinca 'Pacifica Apricot'

Soft, warm apricot flowers make Vinca 'Pacifica Apricot' a standout in the Pacifica series—a color rarely seen in annual vincas. This award-winning variety (All-America Selections winner) combines unique color with the series' trademark compact habit, early flowering, and excellent heat tolerance. It's a refined choice for gardeners seeking something beyond the usual pinks and whites.

Distinctive Color & Form

The blooms are a delicate, clear apricot—peachy-orange with pink undertones—measuring 1.5–2 inches across. Each flower has a small, darker eye that adds depth. Plants are exceptionally uniform, reaching just 8–12 inches tall and spreading 10–12 inches wide. The tight, mounding habit makes it perfect for edging and small-space gardening. Foliage is glossy, dark green, and disease-resistant.

Growing Requirements

• Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade.
• Height: 8–12 inches.
• Spread: 10–12 inches (1 foot or less).
• Soil: Well-drained, average fertility.
• Water: Low to moderate. Drought-tolerant once established.

Design Ideas

Use 'Pacifica Apricot' to soften hardscapes, edge rose gardens, or create a warm-toned border with yellows, oranges, and salmons. It's exquisite in containers paired with blue lobelia, purple verbena, and silver helichrysum. The compact size makes it ideal for window boxes, fairy gardens, and small patio pots.

Care & Maintenance

Self-cleaning flowers require no deadheading. Fertilize at planting with slow-release granules. Water at soil level. Excellent drainage is crucial. Space 8–10 inches apart for mass effect. Resistant to deer and rabbits.
