Vinca 'Sunstorm Blush': Early-Blooming Blush Pink for Cool-to-Hot Transitions

Vinca 'Sunstorm Blush'

The Sunstorm series is bred for one thing: early flowering. Vinca 'Sunstorm Blush' delivers delicate blush-pink blooms weeks earlier than standard vincas, extending the color season well into spring. Its compact habit and heat tolerance mean it doesn't just start early—it keeps going strong through the hottest summer months.

Series Advantages

Sunstorm vincas are day-length neutral, meaning they flower under short days (early spring) as well as long days (summer). This makes them ideal for early-season sales and garden color when other annuals are just waking up. 'Blush' produces soft, shell-pink flowers with a slightly darker eye on plants that reach 10–14 inches tall and spread 12–16 inches. Foliage is glossy, dark green, and disease-resistant.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Full sun to partial shade.
• Height: 10–14 inches.
• Spread: 12–16 inches.
• Soil: Well-drained; tolerates heat and humidity.
• Water: Low to moderate. Drought-tolerant once established.

Garden Applications

Perfect for early spring containers and window boxes where you want color before petunias and marigolds hit their stride. Use in beds and borders for a head start on summer color. The early bloom also benefits pollinators emerging in spring. Combines beautifully with pansies, snapdragons, and other cool-season annuals for a seamless transition.

Care

Self-cleaning—no deadheading. Fertilize at planting. Water at base. Excellent drainage required. Space 10–12 inches apart. Deer resistant.
