An overview of the species of the Mandevilla

For example, the different Dipladenia Sundaville species that a Japanese breeder developed from the Mandevilla are very interesting. The Dipladenia “Sundaville Red” (R) impresses with its beautiful velvety red flowers and particularly lush growth.

Which Dipladenia is suitable for which location?

Basically, all dip shops should be given a warm and bright place. Depending on their size and habit, some varieties are better or worse for planting Window boxes or Hanging baskets.

Plant in Window boxes(€ 7.99 at Amazon *) preferably small and rather bushy varieties, optionally also hanging or semi-hanging, such as plants from the Sundaville Classic series or "Diamantina Jade White". Since the dipladenia cannot tolerate waterlogging, create a drainage layer in the planters before planting.

You can also plant a tall and / or climbing Dipladenia in boxes that you place on the terrace or in the garden. Give the plant a climbing aid, for example

Trellis or a special climbing rod. Remember, however, that the dipladenia are not winter hardy and should be put into a suitable one early on bright winter quarters should be brought.
