Tropical mandevilla (syn. Dipladenia) are climbing, evergreen perennials native to the woodlands of Central and South America. They are perfect for growing as a conservatory plant in more temperate climates, bringing a dash of the exotic to your home.
Mandevilla Sundaville Cream Pink = ‘Sunparapibra’ (PBR) (Sundaville Series) has trumpet-shaped, pink flowers that are a deeper pink at the centre. Given the right hot and humid conditions, it can bloom all summer long, and will eventually grow into a large, shrubby climber.
For best results grow Mandevilla Sundaville Cream Pink = ‘Sunparapibra’ (PBR) (Sundaville Series) in a pot of 50: 50 ericaceous compost and John Innes No.2, in a warm but partially shaded conservatory. Water moderately during the growing season, mist daily and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month. Flowering on the current year’s growth, spur-prune in late winter or early spring.
Mandevilla Sundaville Cream Pink = ‘Sunparapibra’ (PBR) (Sundaville Series) is susceptible to greenhouse and conservatory pests such as mealybug, aphids, whitefly and scale, but these can be washed off with warm, soapy water.
