Those are annual vincas.....have a short season, do well in part shade. And monsoon means their end.

Agreed. However, in some homes these very plants, especially those with crimson flowers and pure white with a small red central dot, have been blooming practically all the year round for years in flower beds. What could be the reason for this ?farhan137 wrote:Those are annual vincas.....have a short season, do well in part shade. And monsoon means their end.

Farhan Bhai saying right its "Annual Vincas", it produce seeds. As far as Vinca-F1 or other dwarf varieties cannot produce seeds.
In every home normally two colors of "Sada Bhar", Crimson flower having red dot inside and White flower having white dot inside. By doing cross section you can produce different colors starting from normal plant that can easily available at home.
