If you're looking for a unique, eye-catching annual that adds color, cheerfulness, and a striking pattern to your garden, choose Catharanthus (Vinca) roseus First Kiss Polka Dot for a real eye-catcher. This special variety from the First Kiss series stands out with its charming white flowers with a bright pink center, a playful yet elegant contrast that immediately catches the eye. Ideal for borders, pots, and sunny patios – and perfect for gardeners who want to combine style with ease of care.
The decorative character of First Kiss Polka Dot comes mainly from its characteristic two-tone flower:
Snow white petals with
a bright pink center, the so-called 'polka dot' effect.
This sharp contrast gives the plant a vibrant, almost graphic appearance. The evenly rounded flowers and fresh, dark green foliage create a perfectly balanced and elegant plant that fits into any garden setting: modern, romantic, or playful.
Like the other varieties in the First Kiss series, Polka Dot was selected for its excellent performance in warm, sunny conditions. This makes it ideal for today's increasingly dry and hot summers.
Key Features:
Rich and continuous flowering from early summer to late autumn
Heat and drought tolerant, even on patios and balconies in full sun
Compact, bushy growth with a neat appearance
Colourfast in sun and heat
Little susceptible to diseases and pests
Plants typically reach 25–35 cm in height, making them ideal for low borders, edging and container planting.
Catharanthus roseus First Kiss Polka Dot is one of the most rewarding annuals for gardens and patios. The plant blooms even with minimal care, making it ideal for both experienced gardeners and beginners.
Growing tips for optimal results:
Plant after the last frost, when the soil is warm.
Place in a sunny spot; the more sun, the richer the flowering.
Use well-drained soil – Vinca does not tolerate wet roots.
Water regularly but moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Removing dead flowers extends the flowering period and improves appearance.
Its vigorous growth and low maintenance make this plant ideal for holiday periods, busy gardeners or places where watering is sometimes forgotten.
The First Kiss Polka Dot has a wide range of applications thanks to its compact shape and striking colour pattern:
Borders: accent plant among pink, lilac, or white annuals.
Balcony boxes and patio pots: very suitable for warm, sunny locations.
Potted combinations: beautiful next to silver-leaved plants or blue accents.
Mass planting: creates a spectacular and uniform appearance.
Although Vinca is not a classic cut flower, First Kiss Polka Dot can be surprisingly effective in small table arrangements or mini vases, where the contrasting center really comes into its own.
The flowers of Catharanthus roseus attract bees and small pollinators, especially during warm periods when other plants produce less nectar. This way, First Kiss Polka Dot contributes to a vibrant, biodiverse garden environment.
Catharanthus (Vinca) roseus First Kiss Polka Dot combines graceful elegance, playful contrast, and exceptional weather resistance in a single plant. This variety is perfect for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, abundantly flowering, and striking summer bloomer in the garden or on the patio. With its characteristic white-pink flower pattern, vigorous growth, and long blooming period, First Kiss Polka Dot is an absolute asset to any sunny outdoor space.
