Monrovia® Velvet Red Mandevilla is a fast-growing tropical vine with a particularly bushy habit and glossy green foliage with non-stop flowering. The large, deep velvet red trumpet-shaped flowers with dark yellow throats bloom through summer until frost. Grows best in bright indirect sun and rich, moist well drained soils. Needs a support to climb, be left alone to cascade, or can be pinched as it grows to promote bushiness.
