Vinca 'Pacifica Lilac': Soft Lilac Charm for Sunny Spaces

Vinca 'Pacifica Lilac'

Pale, cool lilac flowers make Vinca 'Pacifica Lilac' a gentle standout in the Pacifica series. Its soft color brings a calming presence to hot, sunny gardens, while the series' compact habit (8–12 inches tall, 1 foot spread) and heat tolerance ensure it performs flawlessly all summer. A lovely choice for pastel-themed plantings and refined container combinations.

Color & Habit

The blooms are a true, cool lilac—lavender with pink undertones—measuring 1.5–2 inches across. A tiny white eye adds subtle contrast. Flowers cover the plants continuously from spring to frost. Foliage is small, glossy, dark green, and forms a tight, uniform mound. The Pacifica series' early flowering and consistent habit make 'Lilac' a dependable choice for large-scale plantings where uniformity is key.

Growing Conditions

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

Design Applications

Perfect for pastel borders with pink, white, and blue companions. Edge a white picket fence, line a garden path, or fill a window box with 'Lilac' paired with white bacopa and blue lobelia. Its compact size makes it ideal for small-space gardening, fairy gardens, and trough planters. Also works well as a low groundcover in rock gardens.

Maintenance

Self-cleaning flowers—no deadheading. Fertilize at planting with slow-release granules. Water deeply but infrequently at soil level. Ensure excellent drainage. Space 8–10 inches apart. Resistant to deer and rabbits.

Vinca 'Pacifica Lilac'—soft lilac beauty on a tough, compact plant that blooms tirelessly all season.
