Origin
The Mandevilla Sundaville Mix, also known as Dipladenia Sundaville Mix, has its origin in the warm and sunny climates of Central and South America. Specifically occurring in areas such as the forests of Brazil, this climbing plant was brought to Europe in the 19th century and has since become popular in gardens and as a house plant.
Characteristics
Characteristic of the Mandevilla Sundaville Mix are the beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers that can come in a variety of colours, ranging from white to pink and deep red. The glossy, green leaves provide a nice contrast with the striking flowers. This perennial plant can reach a height of 2 to 4 meters and is a favourite for the summer garden due to its continuous blooming from spring to autumn.
Care
When caring for the Mandevilla Sundaville Mix, it is important to place the plant in a light, sunny location. However, direct sunlight is discouraged as this can burn the leaves. The soil should be well-draining and regularly watered, but beware of waterlogging. In winter, the plant is best overwintered in a cool place to promote flowering in the summer. Finally, these plants need feeding during the growing and flowering season.
