Cora® XDR White Catharanthus

Cora® XDR White is an upright, full-sun annual vinca with white flowers. [Syngenta’s exact profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70066855) identifies selection 70066855 and lists spring-to-summer flowering and 12–16-inch garden height and width; the Cora XDR series is selected for strong disease resistance and uniform branching. ## Garden Use The white flowers provide a bright accent in seasonal borders, mass plantings, and containers. This upright selection works well among other warm-season annuals and can be repeated along an edging or bed front. In frost-prone areas it is ordinarily grown as a warm-season annual. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun in soil with good drainage. Annual vinca handles summer heat well, but poorly drained or persistently wet soil raises the risk of root disease. [UF/IFAS guidance](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/fp112) explains species-level drainage and irrigation needs. ## Maintenance Set plants out after cold conditions have passed. Water during establishment, then avoid excessive irrigation, especially during rainy summer weather. Syngenta culture information says pinching is not needed; remove seasonal plants after frost where they do not overwinter.
