Incredible Spreading Habit and Two-Toned Blooms for Baskets or Beds!
Vinca Mediterranean Deep Rose Hybrid
Heat- and drought-tolerant plants spread 2 1/2 feet wide!
Bright rose blooms with tiny white centers bloom from May till frost!
Charming white-eyed blooms add a new dimension to the popular, high-performing Mediterranean series! These vibrant rose blooms boast a tiny central white dot, making them stand out beautifully in the garden or basket. And like all the Mediterraneans, Deep Rose gives you a low, vigorously spreading habit -- 2 to 2 1/2 feet per plant! -- smothered in cheery 2-inch flowers from May till frost! Like all Vinca (also called Periwinkle), it blooms reliably through heat and drought, making it a great choice for edging the driveway or setting out on the blazing-hot patio. These 5- to 6-inch-tall plants offer lush foliage as well, filling hanging baskets and windowboxes with color even when not in bloom, and covering ground beautifully.
Sun-loving and trouble-free, Mediterranean offers maximum color and coverage for minimal effort! Space 24 inches apart. Pkt is 50 seeds.

Lovely
I use this as a ground cover. It is hardy and reliable. It even comes back from the roots many times, which annuals are not supposed to do. This is undoubtedly my favorite flower. And of course it is lovely.
