Coral White Vinca

This White Catharanthus Roseus is also known as Coral White Vinca or Titan White Vinca. Another name for it is Madagascar Periwinkle.


I was walking through a nursery near my home when I came across this beauty. It was love at first sight. The flowers were so pure and white, like Snow White. I had to have it and I was not going home without this one. So, here it is now, in my garden, sharing a home with me.


I can't wait to go to my garden this morning to take a look at my beloved.
Hey, some buds are just going to open. Let me take some photos.

This shot is what I call the 'triangle arrangement'.

Wake up! Sleepy head, the sun is shining brightly now. Say Cheers!

By the way, I hope this plant is not sterile. If it can reseed itself, I may get some cross breed colours. At the moment, I have lavender, pale pink and light purple ones as candidates for Snow White to 'mate' with. Now, I just have to wait while I let the butterflies and bees do their job.

  3. Vinca grows very well here in Arizona, as it can take the extreme heat. I have some areas that come back year after year and some that don't. Not sure why.
    Nice to meet you!
