Mandevilla, also known as rock trumpet, is a tropical vine that produces large showy blooms from late spring to fall. Trumpet-shaped five-petaled flowers, which occur in colors of red, white, pink, or yellow, are pleasingly fragrant and attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Native to Central and South America, mandevilla is a popular patio plant that is especially suited to containers. This tender perennial can be grown outdoors year-round in frost-free areas, treated as an annual in colder climates, or overwintered from year to year as a houseplant.
