No More "Sudden Death" Vincas!
This new Vinca has been two decades in the making, the disease-fighting technology developed for it is so revolutionary that it's actually being patented! Until now, Vinca has been prey to "sudden death" in humid, rainy, or very hot climates. Now the cure has been discovered, and Cora™ is ready to thrive in the most damp and moist conditions without turning a petal! It's a whole new day for this lovely, long-blooming plant!

Cora™ is a very well-branched, heavy-blooming plant about 14 to 16 inches high and 25 inches wide. The blooms are pure white, and they appear right down to the ground. Flowering heavily all summer (and sometimes in late spring and early fall as well!), this plant is eye-catching and very, very easy to grow.

Cora™ was the only Vinca to survive until frost in punishing garden trials in Dallas. After all the freak hot spells and cold snaps of autumn, it alone remained in the garden, briskly growing! This is a plant that can take climate stress of all types in stride.

In addition to White, there are 4 other single colors and a Mix of all 5: Apricot, Burgundy, Lavender, and Violet. Try them all, mix and match your color combinations, or select your favorites! Each color has the same height, width, and bloomtime as the others, so they do very well in large mixed plantings.

Give Cora™ full sun and good soil drainage. It is useful as a bedding plant, border standout, ground cover, and even in containers indoors and out! Pkt is 20 seeds.

Cora VInca
Dennis from CA wrote (November 04, 2011):
I bought this flower 4 years ago. I planted a flat of various colors next to the standard Vinca. The difference was dramatic. The Cora Vinca is bigger, more resistant to heat, with flowers that are bright and bigger than the old Vinca. Can't go wrong with this Cora variety if you like the Vinca.
Beautiful Blooms!

I bought this plant because the salesman suggested it for my patio that receives an extreme amount of sun. All other flowering plants I have tried failed to live up to the heat. But not this one, it is still blooming after planting mid-summer! I would sure like to know what flower plants I could use for Fall into early winter??? Anyone?
