Vinca 'Sunstorm Rose w/eye': Early Bicolor Beauty with a Distinctive Eye

Vinca 'Sunstorm Rose w/eye'

A prominent, contrasting eye sets Vinca 'Sunstorm Rose w/eye' apart in the early-blooming Sunstorm series. The rose-pink petals surround a bold, dark center that adds depth and intrigue to each bloom. Combined with the series' day-length neutrality (flowering in short spring days), this variety offers unique bicolor interest from early spring through fall.

Distinctive Features

The 1.5–2 inch flowers are a clear rose pink with a pronounced, deep red-purple eye—creating a striking target pattern. Plants reach 10–14 inches tall and spread 12–16 inches, forming a uniform mound of glossy, dark green foliage. The eye pattern is consistent across the plant, adding visual texture even from a distance.

Growing Requirements

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

Design Uses

The bicolor flowers shine in containers where they can be viewed up close. Pair with solid-colored companions in coordinating shades (deep rose, white, dark purple). In beds, the eye pattern adds interest to mass plantings. Early bloom supports spring pollinators and extends the garden color season.

Care & Maintenance

Self-cleaning—no deadheading needed. Fertilize at planting with controlled-release formula. Water at base. Ensure excellent drainage. Space 10–12 inches apart. Resistant to deer and rabbits.
