Vinca Cora Violet

Common Name: Cora® Cascade Violet Vinca

Description: Cora® Cascade Violet Vinca (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora Cascade Violet') is a trailing annual renowned for its vibrant violet flowers and glossy green foliage. This variety is part of the Cora® Cascade series, known for its high resistance to multiple strains of aerial Phytophthora, a common fungal disease affecting vincas. The plant's mounded, spreading habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and ground cover in garden beds. Blooming from mid-spring through late summer, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. Regular watering during dry periods and avoiding overhead irrigation can help maintain plant health.
