Pacifica XP Rose Halo Vinca

Pacifica XP Rose Halo is a compact, upright vinca for sunny borders and containers, especially where summer heat challenges other bedding plants. The breeder lists a mature height of 10–14 inches and spread of 6–8 inches, with flowering from late spring through summer into late summer. ## Size and siting The [PanAmerican Seed product profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/063705391004695/vinca-pacifica-xp-rose-halo/) identifies the selection as Catharanthus roseus ‘Pacifica Rose Halo’ and lists 10–14 inches high by 6–8 inches wide. It recommends sun and describes Pacifica XP as uniform and suitable for hot, dry, sunny conditions. The series habit is mounded and upright. The [North Carolina Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/catharanthus-roseus/common-name/annual-vinca/) recommends well-drained soil and notes that modern hybrids are compact and branched. ## Seasonal use Place it near the front of a sunny bed or in a pot with drainage holes. The breeder lists late-spring, summer, and late-summer flowering. In cold-winter regions, grow it as a warm-season annual; Catharanthus roseus persists as a perennial only in warm climates. ## Maintenance Plant after frost in full sun and well-drained soil. Water while roots establish and during extended dry spells, avoiding persistently wet soil. Trim damaged growth if needed; modern vinca hybrids do not require routine deadheading.
