This is another new variety on the market. It far out shines existing vinca varieties. It loves the heat of summer and can survive dry conditions. The Nirvana Vinca Cascade has the perfect blend of strength and beauty. Nirvana was bred for both "Aerial Phytopthera" resistance to handle wet conditions, and for extreme heat tolerance. This, paired with the large flowers and overlapping pedals, makes the Nirvana simply the best Vinca on the market. The semi-trailing growth habit makes it ideal for baskets and mixed containers.
