Landscape Uses
Its vigorous climbing habit makes it ideal for covering trellises, arbours, fences, and walls, creating stunning vertical displays of flowers. It can also be used in container gardening, where it can be trained to climb or allowed to spill over the edges, adding charm to patios, balconies, and outdoor living spaces. If no support structure is provided, it will happily trail on the ground, eventually retaining a shrub-like form. In colder regions, potted Mandevilla can serve as excellent indoor plants over the winter months if placed near a sunny window.
