Mandevilla (4 Gallon)

Mandevilla – A Climbing Beauty in Bloom
Graceful, tropical, and full of charm, the Mandevilla brings a touch of romance to porches, trellises, and garden gates. With its lush green vines and trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of pink, red, or white, this vine has long been adored for adding vertical color and Southern elegance to even the smallest of spaces. Native to Central and South America, Mandevilla has made itself right at home in warm-climate gardens where summer blooms are celebrated like old friends.

Where It Grows Best
Mandevilla thrives in USDA zones 9–11 and can be grown as an annual or overwintered indoors in cooler climates. It loves full sun with a bit of afternoon shade in hotter regions. Perfect for patios, porches, hanging baskets, or trained up a trellis where it can climb and shine.

Growth Pattern
This fast-growing, vining plant can reach 10–15 feet in ideal conditions, twining gently upward as it blooms from spring through fall. It also does beautifully in containers, where it can spill and climb with equal beauty. Expect rich green foliage and blooms that feel like they were made for summer garden parties.

Care Instructions

• Light: Full sun to partial shade

• Water: Water consistently, especially during dry spells; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, rich soil

• Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a bloom-boosting fertilizer

• Pruning: Prune lightly to shape and control size; pinch back tips to encourage fuller growth

• Overwintering: In cooler zones, bring indoors before frost—place in a bright window and water sparingly during dormancy

With its romantic vines and bold, summery blossoms, Mandevilla adds a storybook softness to your garden spaces. It’s the kind of plant that looks right at home twining around a front porch column or swaying gently in a hanging basket—beckoning you to sit a while, sip something sweet, and soak in the season.
