Create a Tropic Escape in Your Own Backyard

Create a Tropic Escape in Your Own Backyard


Yearning to escape to a tropical paradise? This spring, look no further than your own backyard to capture the romance of the tropics and create a sense of optimism to lift your spirits.

The oversized flowers range from 6 inches to 9 inches and some can stay open more than three times longer than older hibiscus varieties.

Mandevilla varieties come in climbing varieties perfect for trellises (the most beautiful privacy screen you can think of!) and bushy types that are perfect for containers, any sunny spot in your landscape, or as an underplanting for tree-type  hibiscus. Their flowers come in gorgeous shades of red, pink, and white.

“Everyone wants vibrant colors to dress up to their outdoor spaces,” says Justin Hancock, a garden expert at Costa Farms and landscape designer. “It’s wonderfully easy to add a touch of the tropics and transform your yard into your dream vacation spot with the right plants. Hibiscus and mandevilla are perfect for this.”

Start planning now to transform your patio, deck, porch or balcony into a tropical oasis with the Premium Blooming Collection from Costa Farms.

The new flamboyant hibiscus collection comes in varieties with big, showy blooms in tropical colors of pinks, yellows, reds, and oranges. All are easy to grow and put on a bigger show than old-fashioned hibiscus varieties. 

Punch it Up!
For immediate impact, add flower color at all levels. Hibiscus and mandevilla grow well in the ground or in large containers. The frilly flowers work in any setting, from decorating containers for your outdoor festivities to accenting your backyard garden.

Plant and Go!

Both easy-to-grow hibiscus and mandevilla thrive in sunny locations and grow like crazy in summer’s heat and humidity. Keep the soil consistently moist and fertilize every one to two months to ensure a nonstop supply of beautiful blooms.

Hibiscus and mandevilla are must-haves for plant collectors -- as well as for those with brown thumbs. They are easy to overwinter indoors if you want to replant and enjoy them next spring.
