Mandevilla 'Aloha Burgundy' pbr
'Aloha Burgundy' pbr is a vigorous climbing vine renowned for its strikingly beautiful, large burgundy trumpet-shaped flowers with a delicate yellow throat. These flowers are on display from mid-spring to late summer. The leaves are glossy, dark green, and oval-shaped, providing a vibrant backdrop that enhances the brightness of the flowers.
Cultural
Mandevilla thrive in a full sun to part shade position, enjoying warm temperatures and well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Pruning is beneficial for maintaining shape and encouraging new growth, typically done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Mandevilla can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies, so regular monitoring is essential. Additionally, providing a trellis or support structure allows the vine to climb and showcase its beautiful flowers effectively.
Landscape Uses
Its vigorous climbing habit makes it ideal for covering trellises, arbours, fences, and walls, creating stunning vertical displays of flowers. It can also be used in container gardening, where it can be trained to climb or allowed to spill over the edges, adding charm to patios, balconies, and outdoor living spaces. If no support structure is provided, it will happily trail on the ground, eventually retaining a shrub-like form. In colder regions, potted Mandevilla can serve as excellent indoor plants over the winter months if placed near a sunny window.
