Sundaville (Dipladenia) Classic Cream Pink

Origin
The Sundaville Classic Cream Pink, also known as Dipladenia, originates from Central and South America, mainly Brazil. Here, the plant grows in the wild in tropical areas. The plant was introduced to Europe in the 19th century and has since gained popularity as a house and garden plant.

Characteristics
The Sundaville Classic Cream Pink is a climbing plant that can grow up to a height of approximately 3 metres. Characteristic of the Sundaville Classic Cream Pink are its trumpet-shaped flowers, which have a creamy pink colour. The plant's leaves are green and glossy, forming a beautiful contrast with the pink flowers. A typical trait of the Dipladenia is its long flowering period, from spring until autumn.

Care
The Sundaville Classic Cream Pink prefers a sunny spot, but can also grow in semi-shade. It is important to water the plant regularly, but ensure that no water is left standing in the planter as the plant cannot tolerate wet feet. It is advisable to provide plant food weekly during the flowering period. During winter, the plant can be kept in a cooler location inside, but watch out for temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius as the plant is not frost hardy.
