About Mandevilla
Mandevilla (Mandevilla sanderi) is a tropical twining vine from Brazil, prized for its large, glossy leaves and a profusion of funnel-shaped flowers in shades of rose-pink, red, or white with a yellow throat. A vigorous warm-season grower, it climbs readily on trellises and fences and blooms prolifically from spring through fall. Starting at $9.95.

Care essentials
Light
Mandevilla needs full sun to flower prolifically. In Northeast Florida, plant in the sunniest spot available; it thrives in the region's long, hot summers and will bloom continuously from spring through fall.
Water
Water mandevilla regularly and fertilize frequently during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot; reduce watering if overwintering in a container indoors.
Soil & Fertilizer
Plant in well-drained sandy or loamy soil. Feed with a high-phosphorus fertilizer every 2–3 weeks from spring through fall to promote continuous blooming; avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which favor foliage over flowers.
