    Mandevilla they come is colors from red to white. Plant will not winter in your area. Keep roots mulched ane vne/stem and flowers love sunshine. You can contact Park Seed Company, Greenwood, S.C. they will be able to help you. They do have a web site.

    I’m not sure what it is but it isn’t a bougainvillea. It’s pretty whatever it is.

    That's what it looks like to me, too. We bring all of our tropicals in between Halloween & Thanksgiving and put them out again after Tax Day. Occasionally there will be an early or late frost and we have to change that schedule but it holds most of the time.

    My MIL has had a mandevilla for years and that is exactly how she keeps it alive.

    What a beautiful mandevilla! And, it looks like you have a few lady bugs to protect it. The lady bugs will keep aphids away from it.

    I have one here in Spain and I still have the ticket on it. They call it "Dipladenia Hybrid"
    Also on the ticket it says ideal for full sun or semi shade Resistant from heat, Resistant from rain, compact and habit and fast growing. Easy to maintain, low water consumption.

    The one I have is crimson and is called Crimson King

    Hope that helps
