Soft blush petals collide with a deep blackberry center in this striking new addition to the Blockbuster™ Vinca series. Blackberry Crush delivers an almost painted appearance, with smoky mauve tones radiating outward from a dark central eye, creating a bloom that feels both delicate and dramatic at the same time. The contrast between the pale pink petals and rich shadowy center gives these flowers a slightly gothic, velvet-dusk look, especially in evening light.
 
Heat-loving and incredibly resilient, vinca thrives where many flowers struggle, making Blackberry Crush an excellent choice for hot summers, containers, borders, and dry landscapes. Plants remain tidy and floriferous, producing continuous blooms through intense heat with minimal fuss.
 
For an especially dramatic display, pair Blackberry Crush with darker blackberry or near-black vinca varieties. The pale blush tones act almost like moonlight against deeper blooms, creating a layered contrast that feels moody, rich, and a little haunting in the best possible way. Mixed together, they create an almost Victorian-gothic garden palette with shades of blackberry, wine, mauve, and faded rose. 
 
Your favorite summer annual (or any time of year, really) 
 
Vinca aka Periwinkles are an ideal choice for hot climates although they perform well in cooler climates as well. As a born and raised Floridian, this is what we plant every summer because it can take the heat and drought (or humidity) and comes in so many beautiful colors. These are great for Florida and desert climates and everywhere else as well! 
 
Madagascar Periwinkles are tender perennials from zones 9-13, but grow so quickly that they are often grown as annuals in zones 4-8. It also re-seeds really easily and I have found it to be true to seed. 
 
Grows from 8-12 inches tall and 2 feet wide
 
This is for 10 seeds
