Notes
'Cora Cascade Violet' Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora Cascade Violet') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows at a rapid rate, tolerates drought, and draws butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan vine, Hyacinth bean, and Bumble Rumble dahlia.
