Mandevilla Mixed is a lovely climbing perennial that blooms all summer long with lovely trumpet-shaped flowers and oval, pointed, bright green leaves. Excellent for topiaries or use in containers. During the winter, it may be grown indoors. heightens to around 2 metres. performs best when placed directly in the sun. When exposed to cold (<10oC) and frosty circumstances, plants may lose some or all their leaves, but they will grow them again in the spring. Water the soil moderately, preferring to keep it on the dry side as opposed to being overly wet. As needed, prune to keep the shape. Use a fertiliser heavy in nitrogen to feed. Fertilizer should be applied every two weeks to plants in containers and once a month to those growing in the ground.
