Vinca 'Cora White': Pure White Brilliance for Shade and Sun

Vinca 'Cora White'

Crisp, clean, and luminous, Vinca 'Cora White' brings pure white flowers to the garden with the Cora series' trademark toughness. Its 1.5–2 inch blooms have a bright yellow center that adds depth, and they glow in evening light—making this a perfect choice for moon gardens and shaded corners that need a lift. Like all Coras, it resists Phytophthora and thrives in heat.

Key Attributes

Flowers are a true, clean white with overlapping petals and a small golden eye. They bloom continuously from spring to frost, covering the compact, mounding plants. Foliage is dark green, highly glossy, and disease-resistant. Plants grow 12–18 inches tall and wide, maintaining a neat habit without pruning. The white blooms reflect light beautifully, brightening partially shaded areas.

Cultural Requirements

• Light: Full sun to partial shade. Performs well in dappled shade.
• Height: 12–18 inches.
• Spread: 12–18 inches.
• Soil: Well-drained; adaptable to various soil types.
• Water: Low to moderate. Drought-tolerant once established.

Design Applications

Use 'Cora White' to lighten dark corners, edge shaded pathways, or create a cooling white river through a hot-color border. It's stunning in evening gardens where the blooms catch twilight. In containers, pair with any color combination—white is the ultimate mixer. Try it with deep purple petunias, chartreuse sweet potato vine, and blue salvia for a classic thriller-filler-spiller.

Care Tips

No deadheading required. Fertilize at planting with controlled-release formula. Water at base to prevent fungal issues. Ensure excellent drainage. Deer and rabbit resistant.
