The new Sun Parasol® Bluephoria Mandevilla (Mandevilla hybrid) draws attention with coral-pink buds that transition into cool blue petals. This midsized choice features color from spring into summer, offering a lively accent to patios and gardens. The deep center contrasts with the softly hued petals, creating a striking display. As a flexible option for many settings, it tolerates heat and moderate humidity with ease.
Sun Parasol® Bluephoria Mandevilla is evergreen in mild regions and can be trained on a trellis or left to cascade from hanging baskets. Many gardeners value its extended blooming period, which attracts pollinators through the warmer months. We've found the plant adapts readily to containers, garden beds, and large landscapes. Its robust branching and relative pest resistance make it a reliable focal point for outdoor living spaces.
Sun Parasol® Bluephoria Mandevilla Care
Plant it in slightly acidic, well-draining soil with a pH range near 5.5 to 6.0. Provide four to six hours of direct light for the best flower production. Water routinely but allow the top layer of soil to dry between watering sessions. Feed every couple of weeks using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the active growing season.
Light pinching or tip pruning encourages denser growth. Remove old flowers and damaged foliage as needed to keep it looking fresh. In containers, select a pot with proper drainage and refresh the topsoil each year to maintain healthy roots. In colder regions, move your mandevilla indoors prior to the first frost and keep it in a sunny spot until spring. Transition it gradually back to the outdoors when temperatures are reliably above 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sun Parasol® Bluephoria Mandevilla Spacing
Allow at least 24 inches between individual plants in a garden bed for adequate air movement and trailing space. When creating a mass planting or border, place them slightly closer for a continuous wave of color. A container at least 12 inches across gives the roots enough room to establish when starting a new Sun Parasol® Bluephoria Mandevilla.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
