Imagine that you are a plant breeder searching the globe for the unique, the undiscovered, the potentially revolutionary plant….and then, you find it! Over the years, research teams worked tirelessly on perfecting the genetics to create a vinca both beautiful and disease-resistant and, finally, Cora® was born!

In the garden, Cora® vinca will produce huge, show-stopping flowers on glossy green foliage and these blooms will last and last. And, because Cora is a real heat-lover, it will be spectacular throughout the summer when many other annuals experience a reduction in flower size and quantity.

And now there is a trailing version Cora Cascade that gives the same great heat-loving, disease-resistant performance in a form that is perfect for hanging baskets. With both Cora and Cora Cascade, landscapers and gardeners can now look forward to a vinca that will thrive with strength and beauty all season long.

There is another side to vinca (or periwinkle) that is quite interesting and that is its potential healing properties. It is an important plant taxonomically and herbalists have been using some of the elements of this interesting species over the years for conditions as varied as headaches to diabetic wound healing. As well as Periwinkle tea is used to treat diabetes and cough.
