BLACKBERRY CRUSH VINCA

Catharanthus roseus is a tender perennial native to Madagascar, grown in most temperate gardens as a long-blooming annual. 'Blackberry Crush' produces deep rose-violet flowers with a darker central eye, carried continuously on compact, bushy plants that hold up well in summer heat and humidity. It performs reliably in containers, borders, and bedding schemes where consistent color through the season matters. The glossy, dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop to the bloom. A useful nectar source for butterflies and other pollinators, it earns its place in any garden that values both ornamental presence and ecological function.
