Reviews

I have had the opportunity to grow this new variety of mandevilla for three years in my tropical home garden in Columbus, Ohio. It makes an excellent container thriller plant. The plant requires full sun. It grows upright and does not vine. It blooms from early spring to late fall. What makes this plant special are its colorful bright orange blossoms. They remind me of Fourth of July fireworks lightning up the night sky. Part of the garden is located on a street facing corner lot in Historic German Village. .As I work in the garden I am asked by people walking by, what is the name of that orange plant and where can I buy it? I recommend fertilizing once a week with a soluble fertilizer like 20-20-20 until mid July then every other week until the end of September. My experience has been that Insects don't like this plant and nor do diseases, but people sure do and you will too. Happy Gardening!
