Mandevilla

Graceful trumpet-like flowers and the vining habit of mandevillas   are a welcome addition to a tropical garden or a summer container garden.  Newer varieties of this tropical favorite have a mounding habit and do well as accent plants in borders and around walkways. Plant the mounding mandevilla in baskets for a spectacular show of flowers in balconies and patios. Mandevillas flower non-stop through the summer and add a splash of color to tropical landscapes and container gardens alike.  Plant vining mandevilla on a trellis, so it has plenty of space to spread out.  Vining mandevillas make an excellent screen when grown on tall and wide trellises.  These plants are also available as standards with a simple trunk.

Plant these tropical beauties in the landscape in zones 10 and above.  If planted in zone 9, a healthy plant will lose its leaves during the winter but will come back in the spring. Water mandevillas daily until they become established; this will give them a good headstart. After they are established, provide them with a drink as needed. Fertilize with a formula for blooming tropical plants; this will help them thrive throughout the season. Prune mandevillas any time of year to help them keep their desired shape.
