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.
Periwinkle, or Vinca is often used as a ground cover, in beds and borders, or as a container plant. Plants, 4-18 inches tall, can be bushy and well-branched to spreadingmounds. Rounded, 11/2- inch to 2- inch blooms of white, pink, crimson, and lavender with overlapping petals are borne from summer till frost. The glossy, dark green foliage is 1-2 inches long, and oblong on this upright and spreading plant

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
