Vinca 'Cora Pink': Cheerful Color That Beats the Heat

Vinca 'Cora Pink'

Bright, clear pink flowers make Vinca 'Cora Pink' a standout in the summer garden. This Cora series cultivar delivers the same bulletproof performance—Phytophthora resistance, heat tolerance, and a self-cleaning habit—wrapped in a cheerful pink package. Whether planted en masse or dotted through containers, it provides reliable color from late spring until the first hard freeze.

What Makes It Special

The flowers are a vibrant, true pink—not washed out or bluish—with the characteristic overlapping petals of the Cora series. Each bloom measures 1.5–2 inches across, and they cover the plant continuously. The glossy, deep green foliage forms a compact mound 12–18 inches tall and wide, staying dense and attractive without pruning. It's a top pick for landscapes where consistent color and minimal maintenance are priorities.

Growing Requirements

• Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade.
• Height: 12–18 inches.
• Spread: 12–18 inches.
• Soil: Well-drained, average to poor soil. Excellent in sandy conditions.
• Water Needs: Low once established. Drought-tolerant.

Landscape Applications

Plant in drifts for a bold pink statement, or use as a bright edging along paths and beds. It thrives in reflected heat near walls and pavement, making it perfect for urban gardens and parking lot islands. In containers, pair with trailing verbena, lantana, or blue daze for a high-contrast combo. Also works well in window boxes and hanging baskets.

Care & Maintenance

Self-cleaning flowers eliminate deadheading. Apply slow-release fertilizer at planting. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep roots. In humid regions, space plants for good air flow and avoid overhead irrigation. Deer and rabbit resistant.
