Sensational Vinca Cora® has transformed the way we can use Vinca in hot and humid climates, and now it’s available in glorious trailing form! Cascade™ has all the disease resistance, heavy flowering, and lush foliage of its cousin, plus larger than ever blooms that resist fading and seem to last forever. Fill your flowerpots, hanging baskets, and windowboxes with this carefree annual!
Just 6 to 8 inches high, Cascade™ spreads 32 to 36 inches wide, with flowers every inch of the way. The blooms are very evenly distributed, eliminating the “bald spots” that plague some Vinca. And these flowers are a bit larger than most other Vincas’, standing out brilliantly against glossy, dense green foliage. You can see the vigor in every leaf and bloom of Cascade™ — it just looks healthy and ready to flourish!
Cascade™ is perfect for containers of all kinds, particularly those high enough to show off its full trailing glory. It thrives in full sunshine, despite unseasonable high temperatures, punishing humidity, or frequent late-afternoon rain. Its resistance to aerial phytophthora, the disease responsible for the mysterious “sudden death” of Vincas in wet climates, sets it apart from all others, and makes for a very low-maintenance plant that blooms nonstop all summer long.
These seeds are easy to start and quick to grow. Expect the first blooms just 10 to 14 weeks after sowing. You simply can’t beat Cora® Cascade™ for dependable, beautiful performance. And if you like Magenta, be sure to try the other colors too — Lilac, Peach Blush, and Polka Dot. You’ll love them all! Pkt is 15 seeds.
