All Season Pink Mandevilla (Mandevilla 'All Season Pink') is a fast growing, twining climber that reaches 2 to 3m, with large, trumpet shaped, deep pink flowers and a slight yellow centre. It flowers from late spring to autumn, and often starts while still a small plant. It suits a trellis, arbour or sunny balcony in warm climates.
Why you'll love it
-
Months of deep pink. Large trumpet flowers open from late spring to autumn, right across the warmer months.
-
Flowers while young. It is often already in flower at tube stock size, so the colour starts early.
-
Fast growing. It grows quickly in the warmer months and soon covers a trellis.
-
Many uses. Use it as a privacy screen, to cover an arbour, to climb a wall or in a large pot.
-
Easy to look after. Regular water in summer, a prune to shape and a feed in spring are all it asks.
Where it works best
Trellis privacy screens. Plant 1m apart along a trellis or wire frame. The twining stems fill the gaps and screen a view as they grow.
Arbours and walls. Train it up an arbour post, a pergola or a sunny wall, tying in the stems as they lengthen.
Balconies and pots. In a large pot with a support, it brings colour to a sunny balcony or courtyard.
Growing All Season Pink Mandevilla in Australia
Position and climate. Full sun to part shade, in a warm position. It prefers warm climates, so it suits tropical and subtropical gardens and sheltered warm temperate ones. It is frost tender, so in cooler districts grow it in a pot and shelter it for winter.
Soil. Plant in well drained soil. In a pot, use a quality potting mix and give it a trellis to climb.
Water and feed. Mulch and water regularly until established, usually around 12 weeks. Provide plenty of water through summer heat, and fertilise with a slow release product in spring.
Pruning. Prune as needed to maintain its shape, and guide the stems onto the support. Wear gloves, because the milky sap can irritate skin, and keep the plant away from pets and children who might chew it.
What to expect when it arrives
We sell All Season Pink Mandevilla as tube stock, a young plant in an 80mm deep tube that establishes quickly. Expect a small, twining plant that may already carry flowers. Plant it out or pot it on soon after arrival, give it a support, and water it regularly through summer.
Plants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.
