SunStorm® White With Eye Catharanthus

SunStorm® White With Eye is a compact, mounding annual vinca with white flowers and a rose-colored eye. Syngenta lists this exact Catharanthus product for full sun and spring-to-summer flowering; the breeder code is 70001116. The contrasting center gives the white blooms a clear focal detail in small plantings. ## Flowers and placement The [Syngenta product profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70001116) gives an 8–10 inch garden height and 10–12 inch width, and lists mid-spring, late-spring, and summer flowering in full sun. A [Colorado State University annual trial](https://spl.cde.state.co.us/artemis/ucsuserials/ucsu53010internet/ucsu530102014internet.pdf) describes the exact White With Eye selection as white with a rose eye. Use it in sunny seasonal beds, containers, or mixed annual plantings where the flower pattern can be appreciated. ## Maintenance Treat it as a warm-season annual where winters are colder than its listed hardiness range. Syngenta describes the SunStorm series as naturally free-flowering and well-branched; its product page does not give a home-garden pruning or watering schedule.
