Notes
'Cora Cascade Shell Pink' Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora Cascade Shell Pink') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, which open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Hyacinth bean, Bumble Rumble dahlia, and Black bamboo.
