| History | Originally this plant of the dogbane family was organized into the genus Dipladenia, but later redesignated as Mandevilla by John Lindley in the middle of the 19th century. The genus contains over 100 different species native from Mexico south to Argentina. This cultivar was developed by Monrovia Nursery Co. and is proving their most vigorous introduction reaching market in 2003. Its ancestry, as with that of others is murky, but we know its parent species are native to Bolivia and Argentina. This cultivar is a unique hybrid of Mandevillea x amablis, also known as M x amoena, which itself is a hybrid of M. splendens and another unknown species of Mandevillea. Beyond these hybrids only M. boliviensis and M. sanderi are known in horticulture. |
| Lore | Discovered in 2000 by legendary nurseryman Bruce Usrey at Monrovia Growers, California in a bed of Mandevilla amabilis 'Monite', an earlier exclusive introduction. Delicate soft-pink, fully double flowers emerge in clusters throughout the summer and provide an eye-catching display. Each flower is an amazing arrangement of 18-20 petals twirling out from the center measuring three to four inches in diameter. Let this beautiful new selection dance up your garden trellis for all to enjoy. |
