May be trained up and over both windows and doors on wire guides. Drape runners over fences for a waterfall of foliage and flowers.

| Care Instructions | Provide enriched, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soil. During the warm season, water regularly but do not over water during bloom period; leaves will drop if too dry. Water sparingly in winter to avoid cold, wet soil. Apply fertilizer in spring. Prune annually to control size. Provide support such as a trellis or arbor. |
| History | The genus Mandevilla classified by John Lindley contains over 100 different species native from Mexico south to Argentina. The ancestry of this cultivar is as murky as most other Mandevilla, but we know its parent species are native to Bolivia and Argentina. This cultivar is a unique hybrid of M. x amabilis, itself a hybrid of M. splendens and another unknown parent species. |
| Lore | Mandevilla vines have long been used in the deep south for patio gardens in humid climates. |
