Mandevilla Plants and VinesThe showy flowers of Mandevilla laxa (chilean jasmine) make it a great plant on a trellis or even in a hanging basket in frost free areas. Originating from South America Mandevilla are heavily scented for proper care they require a well drained soil and a frost free position. Mandevilla 'Alice du Pont' is a popular cultivar. Mandevilla sanderi 'Red Riding Hood' is a cultivar sometimes known as Brazilian Jasmin and has red flowers with a yellow centre. Care and Growing ConditionsMandevilla or 'dipladenia' vines and plants flower from late spring through to autumn. They do best in a frost free position and can be grown in pots on a patio or balcony. In cooler climates Mandevilla will die right back during winter to regrow in spring. A climbing frame is best to provide some support. Although regarded as evergreen they will be deciduous in colder climates. In warmer areas prune back during winter to maintain shape. Cultivars and Species for sale |
