Vinca

Solar

F1 Catharanthus roseus

Solar Vinca or Catharanthus offers genetic compactness and an excellent pack and garden performance. Vinca Solar starts flowering up to two weeks earlier than open-pollinated Vinca, producing a first large flower with overlapping petals. They perform very well throughout extreme hot and humid conditions. F1 hybrid Solar also performs well under cooler conditions, making the series ideal for early sowings, extending the traditional Vinca season.
