All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2007
Such a trouble-free delight in the garden, this hale-and-hearty Pacifica Burgundy Halo Vinca begins blooming extra-early with big flowers, then just keeps going despite extreme heat, poor soil, and just about any other obstacle nature throws its way. The Pacifica series is renowned for its ultra-tough performance, and the "halo" colors are its most popular members. Until now they were available only in a mix, but the most beautiful, lovely burgundy, is now ready to show off all by itself in your sunny garden. Pacifica Burgundy Halo Vinca won an All-America Selections Award, so you know you can't go wrong.
You will love Pacifica Burgundy Halo Vinca for its uniform, neat, yet very bushy 10- to 12-inch plants, which stay colorful for months on end. The blooms are 2 inches across and held wide open, with a large, eye-catching white center. Much bigger than the tiny "eye" of other varieties, this area is called a "halo" and really does grab your attention. The blooms are held up and out from the fresh, lush foliage, making them a splendid choice for beds, borders, ground cover, and baskets. Pacifica Burgundy Halo Vinca even makes a terrific houseplant during the winter months.
Pacifica Burgundy Halo Vinca blooms luxuriously despite heat and drought, making it a favorite in climates with long, hot, dry summers. A sun-lover, it's constantly in color from early summer till frost, offering lush foliage as well as plentiful blooms. If you're a busy gardener with no time to pamper your annuals, Pacifica Burgundy Halo Vinca is the vinca you must grow.
If you like this color, there are many other Pacificas to try. Punch is an intense rose-pink with darker center, and Polka Dot offers white blooms with tiny red eyesalmost the reverse of the halo effect. There's even a mix of all 14 Pacifica colors.
