There are many varieties of the tropical vining flowers called Mandevilla / Dipladenia sp. The five-petal flowers are very showy and fragrant, blooming all summer until frost. Blooming will also decrease with cooler fall night temperatures. Flower colors typically coming in shades of pink, red, and white, occasionally with yellow throats. Mandevillas thrive in warm, humid weather as a summer patio plant or annual. If growing as a potted plant and trying to overwinter, it is very difficult as these plants do not like low humidity or low light; best to replace each year. Watch out for mealybugs and spider mites indoors.
