    Thanks for all the info and tips! i will take good care of them for my neighbor until it is safe to plant. my house faces east, so they will get morning sun,inside until then.
    i had the Crimson red one last year..it was a real beauty on my deck..i already have hummers and monarchs coming to my garden in the summer months.

    It is a Mandevilla. We had one exactly like this that we bought from Lowes here in NC last summer, planted it out and was beautiful, but it didn't survive the winter here like the tag said it should and our winters here are mild.

    We just bought another very pretty red one today at the Farmer's market here in NC.

    It's a mandevilla. Prepare to treat it as an annual (a one season wonder) or to bring it in for winter. Cut back to about 2 feet and find a sunny spot for it inside. I have had minimal luck in NJ. It will stay alive (barely) but recover nicely outside in the summer. Mine never looks as good as the first year.

    Its a Mandevilla, a tropical plant.
    Usually used as a container plant.
    Will not stand any cold weather. Kept inside it will develop white flies, so best used outside in the summer.

    It is Mandavilla. This is what I do in CT. It cannot survive the winter.

    This not a clematis. The leaves are way to big and so is the flower. A gal from Mississippi.

    Like most have said it is a Mandevilla.. Now if you had a bouganvillea you would know right away, thay have small blooms and they have nasty thorns. Bouganvilleas do not really vine they have very long,branches ( not the right word) but just had a Senior Brain freeze :roll: They get very long and high,unless you prune they can be unruly.. But they are Beautiful too. BillsBonBon

    That is a Mandevilla ... beautiful, and they grow fast and like an eastern exposure, southeastern if you can do that. I've never been able to keep one from year to year, supposed to let it go dormant, cut it back and so forth. We have four seasons here in the mountains, I do not like that 4th one with some snow ... so I just buy a new one every year 'cause they do not like it too cold.

    If you put it in front of a trellis, it will be awesome all summer into fall.
