Notes
'Cora Deep Lavender' Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora Deep Lavender') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Mexican bush sage, Black-eyed Susan vine, and Bumble Rumble dahlia.
