Notes
'Cora Pink' Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora Pink') is an annual for borders, containers, and accents. 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. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant is drought tolerant. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan vine, Mexican bush sage, and Boston fern.
