Tropical climbers producing large, trumpet-shaped flowers in vivid pink, red, white, and cream over a very long season from spring through autumn. Mandevilla performs beautifully on fences, trellises, and pergolas in Perth. Full sun. Well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly through the growing season. Feed monthly with a liquid fertiliser during flowering. Protect from frost when young. Prune in late winter to control size.
