THE GPS 7 - The Glorified Potting Shed!
Vinca "First Kiss Blueberry" is an excellent choice Patty. It's coloration is pretty unique for annual vincas. I haven't grown "Santa Fe", but it sure does look nice. The "Pacifica Series" is excellent also as the plants stay a bit more compact and hold up great in weather. The "Cora Series" plants tend to be taller and wider, but are still very upright. I prune the "Cora Series" plants every couple of weeks down here to keep them more compact. They can easily get to 18-24" wide if you let them. I've had some reseed themselves down here, but I'm not sure whether they would do that in cooler areas. Another one I just love is Vinca "Nirvana Cascade Pink Splash". I don't think it can be grown from seed unfortunately. I ordered a few of them from www.gardencrossings.com back in 2007.
It seems that the largest selection of vinca seeds are available from www.parkseed.com, www.swallowtailgardens.com and www.seedman.com. Blossom, If you're interested in seeing what "First Kiss Blueberry" looks like you can see photos of it on Park Seeds website. I don't have any photos of it because I grew it in 2007 and didn't have a digital camera back then.

Ooops. It's www.swallowtailgardenseeds.com.
LOL! Hey patty, hup 2-3-4 Watch out for that flipping door! Dang pilates, gotta keep her moving! Gotta make her work off those green peppers.. yakity yak, door talks back!
Jon, the vinca I am looking for is pretty hardy, but I dont know when it kills itself! LOL! Im gonna have to go back to that resturant and see if I cant take a photo if-n its still alive!.. (...oh soooo tempting to snatch a cutting! LOL!) Well anywhozy, I think its a vinca.. its some viney purdy thing any way! Its in some outdoor planters and beds...
You must be referring to the perennial ground cover vinca you see up North??? The Vinca Patty, and myself are referring to is the tropical vinca/periwinkle that would be grown as an annual in zones 9 and lower. I was wondering why I never see any of it up North. I thought perhaps it doesn't grow up North, but it obviously does. I see Cornell University trial garden pictures of it and it looked fine all summer in Zone 5.
Jon
no its definetely not tropical!
Nope, high country is not it... its pretty though! Maybe its not a vinca.. I am not sure. so I am searching vines...
This is close, but no cigar...

You are going to keep me busy for days as I catagorize them and sort through them and mark the calender for planting times and all that glorious stuff! Our food pantry will thank you as well when we get all the yummies planted and harvested and donated to them! I know the good Lord will take a lichen to ya!

So far I got the mysterious bulbs seperated and planted... and made two piles.. one for food seed and the rest for purdies! If things go well, the purdies will make bunches and get gave to shut-ins next yar so they can enjoy some flaurs!
Ok, well... I gotta move my plump lil bottom to the kitchen whar I have them seed paks all waiting for me to dive right in!
