Description
I do not own this, but it is certainly tempting me, now that I have learned it can be cut back to about one foot in height and kept in the basement all winter..... It`s a lovely vine, and some info follows.
Known for its showy flowers, the genus Mandevilla includes plants that were formerly called Dipladenia. There are about 100 species of this tropical American woody vine. Most species overwinter only in the tropical South. In South Carolina they can be treated as annuals or grown indoors. They can be brought indoors before the first freeze and treated as a houseplant during the winter months. In the spring, mandevilla can be returned outside after the last spring freeze or after the threat of freezing weather has passed. Mandevilla is great trellised in containers or in hanging baskets.
Quantities of fragrant flowers compensate for sparse foliage and for the care mandevillas require. The flowers are produced in early summer and again in early fall, even when plants are very young.
Thank you for visiting and for any comments.

Superb and splendid colors, lighting and textures in this wonderful macro of the gorgeous pink mandevilla, Chris! Kind of looks like a morning glory flower, and almost a hibiscus.
