Mandevilla Explained
Mandevilla [1] is a genus of tropical and subtropical flowering vines belonging to the family Apocynaceae. It was first described as a genus in 1840.[2] A common name is rocktrumpet.
Mandevilla species are native to the Southwestern United States,[3] Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America. Many originate from the Serra dos Órgãos forests in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The genus was named after Henry Mandeville (1773-1861), a British diplomat and gardener.[4]
Cultivation and uses
Mandevillas develop spectacular, often fragrant flowers in warm climates.[5] The flowers come in a variety of colours, including white, pink, yellow, and red. Many hybrids have been developed, mainly deriving from M. × amabilis, M. splendens, and M. sanderi.[6] As climbers, mandevillas can be trained against a wall or trellis to provide a leafy green, and often flowering covering.
The hybrid cultivars Mandevilla × amabilis 'Alice du pont' and ='Sunparapibra' [7] have won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[8]
