Common Names: Pink Dipladenia, Rock Trumpet, Brazilian Jasmine

Overview: The Pink Dipladenia will twine its way across a trellis, fence or mailbox. Fast growing, the vine calls the tropics to mind with its vibrant hues. One reason for its popularity is that it will flower in more shaded areas than other Dipladenia or Mandevillas. Make sure not to overwater, as these vines like to go dry between watering. Should temperatures drop, you’ll need to bring them indoors, as they definitely prefer warm climates. It makes a great houseplant, too.
