Description
Catharanthus roseus ‘Pacifica Icy Pink’ is a tidy, upright-mounding annual vinca with green foliage and soft icy-pink flowers. The overlapping petals bring a gentle color to summer borders, mass plantings, and mixed containers. Plants typically grow roughly 10–18 inches tall and wide depending on spacing and conditions.
Growing Pacifica Icy Pink in Alabama
Set plants out after the last spring frost, once nights and soil are warm. Give them full sun for strong flowering and well-drained soil or potting mix. Established vinca tolerates heat and brief dry spells, but new transplants need consistent moisture while rooting. Water at the soil level and avoid keeping foliage wet in Alabama’s humid weather. A modest application of balanced fertilizer during active growth is generally enough; excessive feeding is unnecessary. Flowers continue through summer and into fall until frost. Treat as a warm-season annual across most of the Southeast.
