Mandevilla Sun Parasol Giant White
Click on my picture to purchase me for your garden Categories: Vine | DescriptionThis quick-growing twining vine opens snowy white flowers 4 to 6 inches across -- and it does this from early summer all the way until first frost! This South American native puts up with humidity, resists pests and diseases, and generally looks terrific over many months. Grown as an annual in large containers everywhere north of zone 9, Giant Pink reaches 6 to 8 feet tall within a single season (somewhat smaller if your planter or tub has restricted root room) and branches 1 to 2 feet wide. The large, deep green foliage is scored with veins and very glossy. It does not like to dry out, and appreciates the occasional feeding to stimulate even more bud production. |
