I think that I may have told you that Titan Lavender Blue Halo would be the best sub for your discontinued Blue Pearl, and it still stands. Blue Pearl was bred by the same company that breeds the Titan Series, and comes from the same genetic line. They are both F1 hybrids, where the Victory Series is OP. In our extensive outdoor trials (in Michigan, I may add), F1 hybrids outperform all OP cultivars. Some of the Victory colors do quite well in the South, which is where Vinca tends to do best, as it likes it hot and dry. Michigan tends to be a little cool/cloudy/wet for vinca to have stellar performance, which is why the F1's do better - they are more disease resistant and are beefier plants.

Oh, cr@p - I *totally* forgot about that rec!

What vendor carries Titan seeds? I'll order a packet if I can find them...

Not sure what retailers may carry it. I buy wholesale through Ball Seed Co. FYI - you can still get some old Blue Pearl seed from Burpee.

Yep, I saw that last night. Wish I would have known Burpee still had them before ordering the other. I'm going to order the Blue Pearl anyway and put those in prominent locations, I'll grow the Victory as a trial and stick them somewhere out of the way to see how they perform. Thanks again, guys.
