Mandevilla is a genus of plants belonging to the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. It consists of about 100 species, mostly tropical and subtropical flowering vines.
Mandevilla species are native the Southwestern United States, Mexico, Central America and South America. Many originate from the Serra dos Órgãos forests in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The genus was named after Henry Mandeville (1773-1861), a British diplomat and gardener.
Mandevillas develop spectacular, often fragrant flowers in warm climates. The flowers come in a variety of colours, including white, pink, yellow, and red. Many hybrids have been developed, mainly deriving from M. ×amabilis, M. splendens, and M. sanderi. As climbers, Mandevillas can be trained against a wall or trellis to provide a leafy green and often flowering picture of beauty. They have a tendency to attract insects like mealybugs and scales.
While Mandevilla scabra is sometimes used as an additive to the psychedelic drink Ayahuasca, there is no evidence that it is psychoactive in its own right. It is, however, considered to be toxic.
Mandevilla 'Sunmandecrim' bears intense crimson-red blooms on a semibushy plant that can reach 15 feet. Zones 10-11
The big, beautiful, long-lasting blooms of the vigorous vines in this series are dazzling. Sun Parasol® Crimson is a hybrid between Mandevilla atroviolacea and Mandevilla amabilis x boliviensis ‘Sunmandeho’. It is grown for large blooms of true red with orange throats. The stout vines are bushy with large dark olive green leaves. They are fast growing and ideal for a garden trellis and containers with support.
These tropical favorites originate from Central and South America. Mandevilla vines are evergreen with glossy green opposite leaves. The leaves and stems emit milky sap when broken. The fabulous flowers are funnel-shaped with five broad spreading petal lobes. The blooms may occur singly or in clusters and appear all year around if the weather is warm and accommodating.
