Mandevillas are much loved in the Ozarks for their lush tropical colors and character. Thriving in our hot, humid summers, they produce glossy green twining vines 15-20 feet long and gorgeous flowers all season. As shown here, they're superb container plants when staked to allow some height. They'll also grow in the garden in full sun to light shade and soil kept moist. We think this plant is Mandevilla 'Alice du Pont' (Mandevilla x amabilis 'Alice du Pont'), also called Pink Mandevilla, a favorite for its luscious, soft-pink blossoms.
