  • Height 6-8 Inches
  • Width 22-25 Inches
  • Use as a spiller when using in containers
  • A trailing vina annual perfect for hanging baskets & window boxes!

About the only way to improve the tough annual vinca was to make it trailing. And that’s just what breeders did with Cora Cascade Cherry vinca. Cora Cascade Cherry gracefully drapes from hanging baskets, window boxes and other pots. It’s also striking when planted in the landscape with a mass of cherry red flowers and dark green leaves. It gets 6 to 8 inches tall with up to a 25 inch spread.

Cora Cascade Cherry vinca blooms from spring into fall. This vinca can take the heat and drought. Its leaves droop a little to let you know it’s time to water. Use in a hanging basket or in another container as the spiller. In the landscape, create spots of color mixed in with perennials or around shrubs. Butterflies like to visit this plant.

Cora® Cascade Cherry Vinca Care

The common name for this plant is the same for at least three species and can cause confusion when shopping. The scientific name for this vinca is Catharanthus roseus, which sometimes is called Madagascar periwinkle or just periwinkle. The green and white variegated vinca vine (V. major) is popular in containers because of its trailing habit. Sometimes, the plant is winter hardy, even in part of the Midwest, and will sport a blue flower. Another vinca also called myrtle or periwinkle is V. minor, a popular evergreen ground cover with blue flowers and shiny leaves.

Grow in sunny spaces (6+ hours). Cora Cascade Cherry vinca also tolerates part sun (4 to 6 hours). It’s not too picky about drainage, but it doesn’t like constantly wet soil. Deadheading (snipping off spent flowers) is not necessary because this is a self-cleaning annual. Snip a few stems for a vase for indoor enjoyment.

Cora® Cascade Cherry Vinca Spacing

Use one or two plants in a 10 or 12 inch hanging basket. In a mixed container, allow the cherry red flowers to spill over the edge. Plant about 10 inches apart in the ground.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
