Characteristics of Mandevilla suaveolens

Native to South America, Mandevilla suaveolens is a vigorous vine prized for its fragrant blooms and elegant foliage. Its twining stems easily wrap around supports, reaching up to 4 meters in height. Its large, funnel-shaped white flowers emit an intoxicating fragrance, particularly strong in the evening. Its semi-evergreen foliage may drop in winter in colder regions, but the plant regrows from the base in spring. Though not very hardy, it can withstand brief periods of frost down to -5°C if properly protected.

How to use Mandevilla suaveolens ?

Thanks to its climbing growth and spectacular flowering, Mandevilla suaveolens is perfect for covering structures such as pergolas, trellises, or fences. It integrates beautifully into garden beds, adding an exotic and fragrant touch. In mild climates, it thrives in the ground, while in colder regions, it is best grown in a container to be moved indoors during winter. Combined with other climbers or summer-flowering shrubs, it is an excellent choice for enhancing terraces and gardens.

Tips for successfully growing Mandevilla suaveolens

Mandevilla suaveolens thrives in well-drained, rich, and slightly acidic soil. Spring planting is recommended, with at least 1 meter between plants. In containers, a mix of potting soil and sand promotes healthy growth. Watering should be regular during the growing season but reduced in winter. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain an attractive shape and encourages future blooms. Adding organic fertilizer or compost in spring boosts vigor. In colder regions, protecting the plant from frost or overwintering it in a bright shelter is essential.
