Vinca 'Sunstorm Pink': Early Clear Pink for Season-Long Cheer

Vinca 'Sunstorm Pink'

Clean, cheerful pink flowers arrive early and stay late with Vinca 'Sunstorm Pink'. The Sunstorm series' day-length neutrality gives this variety a head start on the season, blooming weeks before standard vincas while maintaining the same heat tolerance and continuous flowering through fall. A versatile, reliable pink for any sunny to partly shaded spot.

Key Attributes

Flowers are a true, medium pink—1.5–2 inches across 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 extends the vinca season significantly, providing color when few other heat-loving annuals are in bloom.

Growing Conditions

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

Garden Uses

Excellent for early spring containers, window boxes, and landscape beds. Pair with blue lobelia, white bacopa, and silver dusty miller for a classic cool-season combo that transitions into summer. The uniform habit makes it reliable for edging and mass plantings. Also supports early pollinators.

Care

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

Vinca 'Sunstorm Pink'—early, clear pink that bridges the seasons on tough, reliable plants.
