Give Your Garden Instant Energy with Brilliant Red Cora Periwinkle

Red can also create energy. If you are looking to add a little energy to your McKinney garden, consider Syngenta Flowers Red Cora Periwinkle. This annual thrives in the Texas heat and in humid or dry conditions. The Cora is a Texas-tested variety resists the disease aerial Phytophthora. Because of its versatility, Cora Red produces beautiful, vibrant red blooms from summer through fall. Its large bright flowers are striking against thick green, glossy foliage. They do well in mass or in clusters. Place these sun-loving bedding plants in full sun with well-drained soil, and you’ll have instant success … and color!  

Colors can evoke emotions in any setting, and when used effectively in flower beds, gardens and landscapes, color can create great visual impact. Bold colors and foliage can bring sensation to gardens. Red is a very commanding, emotionally-intense color. It makes people stop, look and listen. Red also creates a feeling of warmth. Interestingly enough, red stimulates people – from conversation to creativity to appetites! Red is highly visible, which is why it is used on stop signs and fire engines. It’s no surprise that red is used as a symbol in many holidays including: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and patriotic holidays.

Green is a complementary color to red, which is why many people are drawn to plant red flowers near their lawns and landscapes. However, a word of caution — if your goal as a Texas gardener is to create a relaxing, calmer atmosphere, you might consider integrating pastels and softer tones into your garden plan. Cora Periwinkles come in a variety of colors from white to lavender to red.

Use red when the goal is to:

        stop,

        command attention,

        focus energy,

        stimulate activity or

        create warmth.
