Vinca 'Sunstorm Mix': A Rainbow of Early-Blooming Color

Vinca 'Sunstorm Mix'

For instant, early-season color in a full spectrum of vinca shades, Vinca 'Sunstorm Mix' is the answer. This blend combines the Sunstorm series' revolutionary day-length neutrality (flowering under short spring days) with a vibrant mix of red, pink, rose, white, violet, and blush tones. The result: a colorful display that starts weeks earlier than standard vincas and continues nonstop through summer's heat.

Mix Benefits

Sunstorm varieties are bred for uniformity across colors—similar height (10–14 inches), spread (12–16 inches), and bloom time. This makes the mix reliable for pattern plantings and large-scale installations where consistency matters. Each plant produces 1.5–2 inch flowers with the classic vinca pinwheel form. Glossy, dark green foliage resists disease and stays attractive all season.

Growing Conditions

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

Applications

Perfect for early spring landscape installations, commercial beds, and container programs where early color drives sales. The mix provides visual interest through variability while maintaining uniform habit. Also excellent for home gardeners who want a "surprise" color palette with guaranteed performance.

Care

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

Vinca 'Sunstorm Mix'—a full palette of early-blooming color on tough, uniform plants for the longest possible vinca season.
