Some plants get all the attention on a patio or in the landscape, and Mandevilla Sun Parasol Giant Red Emperor will stand out even among those. Mandevilla is a tropical climbing plant with giant deep red blooms that you can grow during summer and even as a houseplant in winter. Place it in a focal part of your landscape or in a container near a pole or trellis. Then train the long stems as they fill with glossy green leaves and large (2 to 3 inch) flowers.
Most mandevillas can grow to 10 feet long with little effort other than a place to climb and regular watering. In warm southern zones (10 and 11), plant Mandevilla Giant Red Emperor in full or part sun and it will continue to bloom outdoors with long-lasting red flowers from planting time until first frost. If you grow it in a container, bring it indoors for winter in most zones.
Sun Parasol® Giant Red Emperor Mandevilla Care
Place your Mandevilla in a warm, mostly sunny spot for best results. Give it fairly fertile garden soil or a quality potting mix. Water the plant regularly, not letting it dry out too much in summer. Regular, slow-release fertilizer can help keep it lush all summer. The plant prefers heat and might slow down once outdoor temperatures drop to 45 degrees.
You can bring your Mandevilla Sun Parasol Giant Red Emperor indoors for a winter rest and grow it as a houseplant. Try to expose it to at least indirect sun and water normally until it begins to drop leaves and stop flowering. Then, cut back on watering to give the plant a chance to rest in winter. It might drop some leaves, but this is normal. Keep the plant indoors until temperatures are above 60 degrees consistently and repot it in a slightly larger pot with a quality potting mix.
Sun Parasol® Giant Red Emperor Mandevilla Spacing
If you plant more than one Mandevilla together or as part of a container group, consider the plants’ mature spread of nearly 3 feet. Place plants 1 to 2 feet apart from each center. Try to provide a trellis or other object on which the trailing vine can 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).

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.
