Notes
'Alice du Pont' mandevilla (Mandevilla amabilis 'Alice du Pont') is a vine for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. A trellis or support gives the stems something to climb.
Pairs well with Citronella geranium, Licorice plant, and Anouk Spanish lavender.
