Botanical name: Mandevilla sanderi Family: Apocynaceae (Oleander family)
Mandevilla is a tender woody vine much beloved by
gardeners in warmer climates. It provides a nonstop blooming of huge
pink trumpet shaped flowers. The very showy flowers have white and gold
throats and are up to 10 cm across and arranged in racemes. Mandevilla
blooms heaviest in summer and sporadically throughout the rest of the
year. This vine's fuzzy young stems twine around supports, eventually
scrambling to heights up to 10 ft. The handsome leathery leaves are
dark green, up to 20 cm long and 7.6-10 cm wide. Mandevilla is native
to southeastern Brazil. This very ornamental vine is enjoyed as a
garden plant in mild climate areas around the world. Cultivars are
available in various colors and also double forms.
