Mandevilla
  • It's best to cut off wilted flowers, which damages the plant less than pulling them off.
  • Mandevilla is not hardy and takes a while to get started in the spring; so it's a real summer bloomer.
General

Mandevilla likes to build excitement with small, tightly-closed buds. By the time they're ready to open they've grown considerably, and a fantastic white, pink, yellow or red flower emerges with a wonderful fragrance. The flowers are pretty enduring and this climber keeps growing, both upwards and sideways. Given something to hold onto, the vines can clamber up a metre or more, making it a suitable plant for hanging baskets, both trailing over the edge and wrapping itself upward along the chain. A recent introduction are more compact Mandevillas that do not need a trellis.
Care

Place Mandevilla in a warm sheltered spot with partial shade. Water regularly, do not allow the soil to dry out.
