p>Vincas have always been reliable, low maintenance flowers, but often they are somewhat plain or common. The striking bi-color of Vinca 'Pacifica Burgundy Halo' gives it a bit more punch in the garden. Vinca 'Pacifica Burgundy Halo' also stands up unusually well to heat and drought, so it keeps blooming when other vincas fade. Plant it in full sun and it will bloom all summer, without pinching or deadheading.
