Vinca spp. Lavender

Common Name: Madagascar Periwinkle 'Cora® Cascade Lavender with Eye'

Description: The 'Cora® Cascade Lavender with Eye' (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora® Cascade Lavender with Eye') is a trailing annual celebrated for its abundant lavender flowers featuring a distinctive white center. 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 as ground cover in garden beds. Blooming from late spring through autumn, 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.
