Dipladenia (Mandevilla spp.)

Dipladenia Plant Features

Dipladenia is another name for mandevilla. This tropical vine is a surefire favorite for providing lots of summer color: It shows off a steady supply of bright red, pink, or white trumpet-shaped flowers all summer and into autumn. Because it blooms so profusely, is an excellent plant for adding color to sunny decks, patios, balconies, and other outdoor spaces. Dipladenia looks beautiful on a trellis, fence, or mailbox.

The plant thrives in containers and landscape beds and borders. Because it's relatively drought tolerant, is an excellent pick for busy or forgetful gardeners who may forget to water from time to time during the summer.

Dipladenia Growing Instructions

Grow dipladenia in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. A tropical plant, dipladenia doesn't tolerate frost. If you live in a cold-winter climate, it's best to consider dipladenia an exotic annual or bring it indoors as a houseplant for a sunny window until temperatures warm again in spring. In warm-winter areas that don't experience frost (or do so only rarely), dipladenia is an evergreen perennial vine that flowers on and off throughout the year.
