| I was googling information on the various heights of different Vinca varieties, and I kept finding mention of one called "Passion". Each source said it is a purple bloom with a yellow eye. And it grows to 18 inches in height. Sounds fabulous! But I could not find any listing of it on any seed sites at all. Anyone heard of it? Know where to get seeds? |

| Some plants aren't sold as seeds, only as plants, usually already in baskets. I've seen this with vincas, impatiens, and some other plants. I don't know whether that's the case with this one, though, but if you can't find it, that may be why. |

| i didnt google thiws.. but selling actual live plugs.. is one way to enforce a patent ... the plant probably does not come true from seed... so they have captured the market ... is it patented??? ken |

| No idea. Those are very good thoughts, though. I have not seen it in my area at all. But I will be on the lookout from here on out! |

| "Passion" is a really old variety that was offered by Park Seed Company years ago. It is no longer being produced. Closest in color now would be the new Jams & Jellies Blackberry |
