    Customer photo review of Vinca Seeds - Tattoo Tangerine

    Germinated well, had pretty good success with these but the bloom color is not as described. It’s a pink/red on all my plants, not tangerine with the dark center

    Customer photo review of Vinca Seeds - Tattoo Tangerine

    These took a while to flower. They are pretty but I really wanted a peach color to go with my house and these turned out to be bright red.
