Pacifica XP Bold Mixture Vinca

Pacifica XP Bold Mixture is an upright annual vinca with Deep Orchid, Orange, and Really Red flowers and a mounded, well-branched habit. PanAmerican Seed lists it as Catharanthus roseus in the Pacifica XP series, which is selected for uniform growth and a concentrated flowering window. ## Growing profile The [PanAmerican Seed variety page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/063705391019718/vinca-pacifica-xp-bold-mixture/) lists late-spring through late-summer bloom, sun exposure, a mature height of 10–14 inches, and width of 6–8 inches. The series is described as floriferous and well-branched, with performance in hot, dry, sunny conditions. Ball Seed lists light water and identifies the series as heat tolerant, drought tolerant, and low maintenance. ## Placement Use in sunny annual beds, borders, or containers with drainage. Its upright habit and compact size make it suited to edging a bed or adding dependable summer color. ## Maintenance Grow in well-drained soil and water during establishment. Once rooted, let the surface dry slightly between watering instead of keeping the soil saturated. Check containers during hot weather, since pots dry faster than garden beds. Remove damaged growth when needed; routine deadheading is generally unnecessary for continued flowering.
