Origin
The Mandevilla sanderi Summerstar Pink Magic, also known as Dipladenia, has its origin in Central and South America. It is a member of the dog's tongue family, which primarily occurs in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. This plant is named after the British diplomat and botanist Henry Frederick Conrad Sander.

Characteristics
The Mandevilla sanderi Summerstar Pink Magic stands out because of its long flowering period. From spring to the end of autumn, the plant produces abundant graceful, trumpet-shaped flowers in pink colour. The leaves are glossy and dark green, providing a contrasting background. This plant is a climber, and can grow up to 2 meters tall under ideal conditions.

Care
The Mandevilla sanderi Summerstar Pink Magic needs a light location, but cannot tolerate full midday sun. Regular watering is important, but make sure the plant does not stand in water. In the summer months, the plant can also be kept outdoors, but it must be brought indoors in winter as it is not frost hardy. The plant grows fast and if desired, it can be pruned to control growth.
