Vinca ‘Wink White’

Common Name:
Vinca ‘Wink White’

Description:
Vinca ‘Wink White’ is a compact and vibrant cultivar of the well-known Madagascar Periwinkle, prized for its crisp white blooms with a subtle greenish eye. This annual to short-lived perennial forms a neat, bushy mound and flowers profusely throughout the warmer months, making it ideal for mass planting, borders, and containers. Its clean, bright blooms provide a striking contrast against the glossy, dark green foliage, offering a fresh and tidy look in garden beds. ‘Wink White’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent heat tolerance and performing reliably during Melbourne’s summer. It is drought-tolerant once established and very low-maintenance, with flowers self-cleaning and no need for deadheading. Perfect for adding long-lasting colour in high-traffic areas or as a formal edging plant, this variety also performs well in pots on balconies or patios where it can shine as a stand-alone feature or part of a mixed display.
