Notes
'Cora Apricot' Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora Apricot') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast, tolerates drought, and draws butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Mexican bush sage, Kelvin Floodlight dahlia, and Citronella grass.
