Soiree Kawaii Blueberry Kiss Vinca (Catharanthus roseus 'Soiree Kawaii Blueberry Kiss')
kath-ar-AN-thus ROSE-ee-us 'Soiree Kawaii Blueberry Kiss'

Annual (usually grown as an annual near you) Mounding, Spreading in the Apocynaceae Family
A compact, trailing vinca with rich blue-purple blooms that thrive in heat and humidity all summer long.
Soiree Kawaii Blueberry Kiss is a dwarf, spreading Catharanthus roseus selected for its rounded habit and abundant blue-purple flowers. Part of the heat-loving Soiree Kawaii series, it blooms continuously from late spring through fall without deadheading, tolerating drought, humidity, and poor soil better than most annuals. Its mounding, spreading form fills containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds with dense color, standing up to summer heat that wilts less resilient bedding plants.

Pros

  • Continuous blue-purple blooms from spring to frost
  • Excellent heat and drought tolerance once established
  • Compact, spreading habit ideal for containers and baskets
  • No deadheading required

Cons

  • Annual in most climates; will not survive frost
  • Prone to root and stem rot in poorly drained or overly wet soil
  • Can be slow to establish in cool spring soil
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights
  • Part of the compact Soiree Kawaii series
  • Rich blue-purple flower color
  • Thrives in summer heat and humidity

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
