Mandevilla is a woody vine or shrub that produces lush, glossy green leaves. The flowers are fragrant and have a tropical look. Blooms from spring through fall, producing a profusion of flowers during the warm months. It can be trained to climb trellises, fences, or other vertical structures. It can also be pruned to maintain a bushier and more compact shape. Does best in full sun but tolerates partial shade.

The most magnificent red morning glory that always draws admiration. The blooms are a full 4 inches across, deeply colored with a velvety texture. They arise in abundance in summer and fall, opening in the morning and closing late afternoon. This vine is particularly vigorous and fast-growing—it's the one you want to quickly cover that ugly chain-link fence, show off to the neighbors on the mailbox, or climb the patio trellis. It can tolerate a bit of shade, though blazing sun is its preference, and is especially useful in dry soils, where other plants have not been content. Drought-tolerant and ultra-easy, it climbs to about 6 feet.
