Description
Dipladenia (botanical name Mandevilla sanderi) is a trumpet‑flowered vine native to Brazil. It is sold under the trade name "Sundaville". From May to late autumn it adorns balconies and terraces with large, funnel‑shaped flowers in white, pink, and carmine red. As a summer pot plant it climbs on trellises, stakes, or espalier and quickly forms a dense, lush, flowering growth.
Care instructions
Place the Dipladenia in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, warm temperatures, and wind protection, direct light and warmth produce the best blooms. Water evenly and avoid waterlogging to keep the roots healthy. Prune the shoots in spring to encourage bushy growth and vigorous new shoots; wear gloves, as the milky sap can irritate skin. Before the first frost bring the plant indoors and overwinter it in a bright, cool spot at about 6 to 12 °C so it will bloom profusely again next summer.
