Origin
The Mandevilla (Dipladenia) Sundaville Pretty Rose originally hails from Central and South America. This tropical plant from the Apocynaceae family is often found as a climbing plant in the wild. The botanical name Dipladenia is derived from the Greek word for 'double gland', referring to a specific characteristic of the flowers.
Characteristics
A characteristic feature of the Mandevilla Sundaville Pretty Rose is its blooming habit. It produces large, pink, funnel-shaped flowers all summer long and well into autumn. The shiny dark green leaves form a beautiful contrast with the brightly coloured flowers. In addition, the Mandevilla is a vigorous grower and can reach great heights if conditions allow.
Care
The Mandevilla Sundaville Pretty Rose prefers a semi-shady location with well-draining soil. To ensure constant blooming, it is advisable to provide it with a weekly feed high in phosphate during the growing season. The plant has average watering needs but does not like wet feet. To overwinter, the temperature should not drop below ten degrees Celsius.
