How to grow mandevilla

When to plant mandevilla

Mandevilla is a tender tropical twining vine, hardy only in zones 10 to 11, grown across most of the country as a summer container or patio plant and brought indoors over winter. Set plants out in late spring once nights are warm (it grows best at 65 to 70F); it blooms showy trumpet flowers all summer. In hot, humid climates it appreciates afternoon shade and plenty of summer water.

Mandevilla is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
