| History | This genus contains over 100 species native to Mexico south to Argentina and was named after British diplomat and gardening enthusiast Henry Mandeville. This cultivar comes to us from Sperling Nursery in Calabasas, CA and was introduced as a Monrovia exclusive in 2001. Most Mandevilla cultivars are the result of mutiple hybrid crosses with murky ancestry. This cultivar is a unique hybrid of M. x amabilis, which itself is a hybrid of M. splendensand an unknown species. Mandevillas are considered toxic, but its toxicity is very low and symptoms from ingestion of the plant minor. |
