I noticed this Mandevilla a few blocks from me down the hill in a very nice microclimate. Anyone ID which one it might be?

I don’t know if it was planted this year or last year…looks more like a shrub than a vine if that helps.

I like to get one next year…especially the red flowering mandevilla.

Thanks.

Alice du Pont is much bigger, vinier, and paler pink. Also, tender, though I didn't think Dippies would make it in your 'hood.

Dave, I’m guessing it was planted this year…I’ll keep my eye on it :bemused: and see if it grows back next summer.

I’ve heard of them growing back as a perennial in warmer zone 8b. If it should stay evergreen the next few months I’ll do an update in January.

I’ve noticed a few interesting 10a vines coming up from SoCali through the HD. They may be only annuals up here but I only have vertical space left.

Definitely first year. Might be back next year from the roots if you have a very mild winter. Aloha Bright Pink maybe.

Dipladenia is now placed into Mandevilla. These are actually complex hybrids between M. sanderi and M. splendens.

In Florida several are common in the trade; 'Red Riding Hood', 'Rosea', 'Alba', and several in the Sun Parasol series. They aren't reliably hardy here in Orlando. They don't like long sustained periods of cool/cold.

We had our first frost of the season this morning in my area, low of 32F so very doubtful it will make it here as a perennial. But I’m still going to keep my eye on it….last two winter have been 25F-26F so if we do have a warmer winter it could grow back, but with our cool springs its very unlikely to look anything bigger than it is now.

Lows the rest of the week are mid 40’s. There’s this big yellow thing in the sky today so I need to bring the tender stuff inside this evening. LOL!
