Sun Parasol® Fired Up Coral Dipladenia (Dipladenia hybrid) presents striking coral-hued flowers that appear steadily from spring into fall. Its compact form, often reaching 2 to 3 feet in height, fits seamlessly into smaller garden beds or containers. Glossy green leaves offer an attractive backdrop that sets this variety apart from many other tropical blooms. Many gardeners appreciate it for color that remains impactful even through high heat and humidity.
Sun Parasol® Fired Up Coral has a bushy habit, semi-evergreen foliage, and strong pest resistance. Dipladenia, native to tropical regions of the Americas, naturally adapts to warm climates but can be grown as a patio plant in cooler areas. It suits containers, hanging baskets, or mixed borders, bringing a bold statement wherever it’s placed. Moderate drought tolerance and minimal maintenance add to its appeal.
Sun Parasol® Fired Up Coral Dipladenia Care
Plant it in well-drained soil enriched with compost, and place it where it receives full sun or at least six hours of direct light. Water regularly during active growth, keeping the soil slightly moist but never waterlogged, and reduce watering in cooler months. A balanced, water-soluble fertilizer applied every few weeks encourages steady blooms. Slightly acidic to neutral soil pH supports healthy roots and lush foliage.
Remove spent flowers by pinching them off, which tidies the plant and encourages new bud development. Light trimming can shape lanky growth, while heavier pruning or thinning is best done in early spring. Container-grown Dipladenias can be moved indoors before frost, though they may lose some foliage in low-light winter conditions. Keep them in a bright spot, water sparingly, and return outdoors once temperatures are reliably above 50°F.
Sun Parasol® Fired Up Coral Dipladenia Spacing
Place plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to create a low screen or mass planting, which gives them room to expand. A single specimen can be showcased in a container at least 10 to 12 inches wide, allowing enough space for root growth and branching. Larger pots reduce the need for frequent watering and can house a support structure for the plant to climb.

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.
