Mandevilla

species, hybrids and cultivars

Given our harsh conditions, growing plants well in containers can be difficult, especially in full sun positions. Dipladenia (now actually included in the genus Mandevilla) are ideal for growing in containers in our climate. They are weak climbers but can be kept pruned to a shrubby form.

Other Mandevilla have a more vigorous climbing tendancy.

Mandevilla was the featured plant in the 01-08-2025 edition of Get Results Gardening, a weekly publication for Australians via email. When you request a free trial (go calyx.com.au/getresultsgardening.html for more information), you can also ask for a copy of the 01-08-2025 edition if you want to see the Mandevilla article (Australian residents only).
