Vinca 'Sunstorm Bright Red': Early, Intense Red for Maximum Impact

Vinca 'Sunstorm Bright Red'

When you need red color early—and all summer long—Vinca 'Sunstorm Bright Red' delivers. The Sunstorm series' day-length neutrality means this variety flowers weeks before traditional vincas, providing vivid red blooms from early spring through fall. Its saturated, blue-red color holds beautifully in full sun, and the compact plants stand up to heat and humidity.

Performance & Color

'Sunstorm Bright Red' produces 1.5–2 inch blooms in a clear, intense red with a tiny white eye. Plants reach 10–14 inches tall and spread 12–16 inches, forming a neat mound of glossy, dark green foliage. The early flowering trait is a game-changer for spring containers and early-season landscape color. Like all Sunstorm varieties, it continues blooming nonstop through the hottest months.

Cultural Needs

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade.
• Height: 10–14 inches.
• Spread: 12–16 inches.
• Soil: Well-drained; thrives in heat.
• Water: Low once established.

Landscape Uses

Ideal for patriotic plantings, early spring containers, and high-visibility beds where red impact is needed from April onward. Pair with white and blue Sunstorm varieties for a red-white-blue display that starts early. Also effective massed on sunny slopes or used as a bold edging.

Maintenance

No deadheading required. Slow-release fertilizer at planting. Water at soil level. Ensure good drainage. Space 10–12 inches apart. Deer resistant.
