Titan™ Lilac Vinca

Titan™ Lilac Vinca is a compact Titan™ F1 Madagascar periwinkle for sunny beds and containers. Its large flowers are lilac. The plant has a mounded, upright habit and typically reaches 14–16 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, as shown in the exact-selection [breeder listing](https://www.siteone.com/en/82212b-catharanthus-roseus-titan-lilac-vinca/p/787847). ## Garden Use and Season Use it in warm-season borders, mass plantings, and patio pots where the flowers can be seen up close. Titan vincas bloom from late spring through summer and late summer, with branching plants and large flowers described in the [Titan series information](https://www.panamseed.com/controls/MarketingPDF.aspx?blobid=635). The supplier lists Lilac as the trade color for this exact selection. The name and breeder product code identify the exact selection. ## Siting and Soil Give the plant full sun for the strongest flowering; it can also grow in partial or light shade. Choose a well-drained bed or potting mix and avoid keeping the soil soggy. [Kew’s species profile](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/77880-1) notes that Madagascar periwinkle is sensitive to overwatering and frost, so treat it as a warm-season annual in cold-winter gardens. Its dark green foliage provides a steady backdrop for the flowers. ## Maintenance Water when the growing mix begins to dry, with more frequent checks for containers during hot weather. Remove damaged growth as needed and keep pots draining freely. The breeder describes Titan as heat tolerant and low maintenance once it is growing in suitable conditions.
