WHAT IS SOIREE® KAWAII CATHARANTHUS?

IDEA #1: ALL CATHARANTHUS
First, add Calloway’s Premium Container Potting Soil, leaving room for your plants. Then, add your Soiree® Kawaii Catharanthus in a mix of colors for a vibrant creation!
WHITE PEPPERMINT
BLUEBERRY KISS
SHADES OF RED
CORAL
Add more potting soil, if needed, and water in thoroughly. Your all Catharanthus container garden is complete!
IDEA #2: PLANT WITH FRESH HERBS
There is just something spectacular about the contrast of the green herbs and the bright blooms of Soiree® Kawaii Catharanthus!
First, add your potting soil. Use Calloway’s Organic Container Potting Soil to keep your container garden natural and organic.
Design your container garden using the “Thriller, Filler, Spiller” method. For your Thriller, use Soiree® Kawaii Catharanthus! The Thriller is the focal point of your creation and the dynamic blooms of Catharanthus will truly stand out!
For your Fillers, use a compact herb that can really fill in the space. We selected Sweet Basil. Sweet Basil is a classic cooking herb with a gorgeous fragrance. It is also beneficial to pollinators like butterflies!
To complete your container garden, add your Spiller. Spillers are trailing plants that hang over the edge of the container. They should be planted close to the edge of the container, in front of, or surrounding the Filler plant. Try fresh herbs like Thyme for the lovely trailing texture.
Your Catharanthus and herb garden is ready to water and display! Water in thoroughly until the water drains out of the drain hole and add more potting soil if needed.
IDEA #3: PLANT WITH SUN-LOVING COLOR
Add a punch of flower power to your containers with sun-loving color! Using the Thriller, Spiller, Filler method, add other annuals that thrive with the same sun and water requirements.
First, fill your container with Calloway’s Premium Container Potting Soil. Then, add the Soiree® Kawaii Catharanthus for your Thriller plant. The Thriller can be placed in the center of your container garden or towards the back depending on where it will be displayed!
Next, add your Filler plant with beautiful blooms like Zinnias! Zinnias are prolific bloomers with dense green foliage which makes them an ideal Filler for your garden.
Complete your sun-loving creation with Sweet Potato Vines as the Spiller plant. Sweet Potato Vines have gorgeous heart-shaped leaves and trailing growth!
Water in your combination thoroughly and add more potting soil if needed! Display your sunny creations for all to enjoy!
Planting container gardens is a fun and relaxing activity. It will give your home a fresh pop of seasonal color. Plant with success and choose Soiree® Kawaii Catharanthus for the cutest blooms and lasting color!
