Vinca ‘Cora Cascade XDR Strawberry’

Description

Vinca ‘Cora Cascade XDR Strawberry’ is a heat-loving trailing annual with strawberry-pink flowers, glossy green foliage, and strong disease resistance. Its spreading habit works well in hanging baskets, window boxes, mixed containers, and sunny beds.

Light and Heat

Grow in full sun after warm weather arrives. Vinca performs best once soil temperatures have risen and handles sustained summer heat well.

Soil and Water

Use well-drained soil or potting mix and avoid keeping the root zone constantly wet. Water thoroughly during establishment, then allow the upper root zone to dry slightly between waterings.

Color Pairings

The strawberry-pink flowers pair easily with clean white and two-tone companions. Combine them with Cora Cascade XDR White or Cora Cascade XDR Polka Dot for coordinated summer displays.

Containers and Baskets

The cascading habit suits raised containers and hanging baskets where stems can trail naturally over the edge. Our small garden design guide offers more ideas for building color into compact outdoor spaces.

Seasonal Care

Deadheading is usually unnecessary. Trim lightly if stems become uneven, avoid overwatering, and feed according to the needs of the potting mix or garden soil rather than on a rigid schedule.
