Latin name: Mandevilla spp.

Plant type: Perennial climbing plant (grown as an annual in our climates)
Botanical family: Apocynaceae
Mandevilla is a spectacular tropical climbing plant, prized for its large, trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant colors—usually red, pink, white, or fuchsia. It is ideal for decorating balconies, decks, patios, or trellises, thanks to its vigorous growth and abundant blooms that last all summer until the first frost. Its glossy green foliage sets off its lush, fragrant flowers, which are eye-catching and add an exotic touch to any landscape. Grown in containers or in the ground during the summer, Mandevilla can be brought indoors in winter to be kept as a houseplant. Please note that not all perennials are available at all times: please call one of our branches or send us an email request to check inventory.
