Mandavilla (1 Gallon)

Mandevilla (1 Gallon)

Bright, bold, and beautifully Southern—Mandevilla brings a splash of tropical charm to every front porch and patio.

Our 1 Gallon Mandevilla is a fast-growing, vining beauty with large trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of red, pink, or white. Known for its twining vines and glossy green foliage, Mandevilla is a go-to choice for adding height, color, and cheer to containers, trellises, mailbox gardens, and porch railings. It’s a favorite here in the South, where summer days are long, and front porches are made for blooming.

🌿 A Bit of History & Meaning

Native to Central and South America, Mandevilla has found a sweet second home in Southern gardens. Named after a British diplomat and plant lover, this vine has become a symbol of love, vitality, and welcoming hospitality—the kind of flower that makes your guests feel like they’ve come home.

🌞 Where It Grows Best

Mandevilla thrives in full sun to part shade and can reach 6–10 feet tall with support. It grows best in warm, humid climates like ours and does beautifully in containers or the ground with something to climb. This plant is a heat-lover and keeps the color coming all summer long and into early fall.

🌱 Care Instructions

• Water: Keep evenly moist but not soggy; water more frequently in containers

• Sunlight: Full sun for best blooms (at least 6 hours)

• Soil: Well-draining soil with good organic matter

• Maintenance: Pinch or prune lightly to encourage bushiness

• Hardiness: Perennial in Zones 9–11; treat as an annual or overwinter indoors in cooler zones

With regular feeding and plenty of light, you’ll enjoy nonstop blooms and climbing beauty all season long.

🌸 Pairings We Love

Pair with:

• Sweet Potato Vine or Calibrachoa – For trailing color below

• Dipladenia or Lantana – For more heat-tolerant tropical vibes

• Boston Ferns or Kimberly Queen Ferns – For porch-perfect lushness

Whether you’re dressing up a sunny porch, brightening up your fence line, or adding a tropical twist to your favorite outdoor space, Mandevilla offers color, charm, and Southern grace in one beautiful package. Just like a neighbor’s wave from across the street, it’s a simple joy that never goes unnoticed—and it’s right here waiting for you at Wright’s Market.
