Often thought of as an annual, but it is very frost tender perennial.
The Mandevilla plant has become a common patio plant, and rightfully so.
The brilliant mandevilla flowers add a tropical flair to any landscape.
An important part of mandevilla care is the type of light they receive.
Mandevilla vines need some shade.
They enjoy bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight, but can get burned in direct, full sunlight.
In order to get the best mandevilla flowers throughout the summer, give your mandevilla plant a high phosphorus, water soluble fertilizer once every two weeks.

This will keep your mandevilla vine blooming beautifully.
You may also want to pinch your mandevilla.
This method of pruning your mandevilla will create a bushier and fuller plant.
To pinch your mandevilla vine, simply use your fingers to pinch off 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the end of each stem.
Mandevillas are vines, and they will need some kind of support in order to grow as best they can.
Be sure to provide a trellis or some other support for your mandevilla vine to grow upwards.
Once temperatures go below 50 F, you can bring your mandevilla plant indoors for the winter.
When you bring your mandevilla flowers indoors, be sure to check the plant carefully for pests, and treat these pests before bringing the plant indoors.
You may want to cut back the plant by up to 1/3.
Once indoors, place your mandevilla vine in a place where it will get bright, indirect light.
Water the plant when the soil is dry to the touch.
In the spring, when the temperatures are consistently above 50 F, remove any dead leaves, and move your mandevilla plant back outside to enjoy another summer!
The genus name, Mandevilla, recognizes Henry John Mandeville, a British foreign minister who in 1836 introduced the plant from his post in Buenos Aires.
