Notes
'Cora White' Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus 'Cora White') is an annual for borders, containers, and accents. 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 sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, which open in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Emory Paul dahlia, Impatiens, and Gentle Hermione rose.
