Featuring brushstroke mauve-pink flowers, the Sun Parasol® Mauvelous Mandevilla (Mandevilla hybrid) adds a tropical touch to patios and gardens. This compact variety grows upright, reaching one to two feet, and displays a well-branched structure that offers a lush look from spring through summer. Each flower has a subtle infusion of pink that catches the eye in various lighting conditions. Its reliable bloom schedule helps create a cheerful atmosphere around outdoor living spaces.
Originating from warmer regions, this evergreen choice offers moderate heat tolerance and modest water needs, which suits both novice and seasoned gardeners. Many appreciate its low-maintenance nature and deer-resistant foliage, which adds value in areas frequented by wildlife. Uses range from covering a trellis for vertical color to filling a hanging basket with cascading blooms. This plant also works well as a striking accent in border plantings or mass groupings.
Sun Parasol® Mauvelous Mandevilla Care
Plant it in a rich, well-drained medium with a pH range near 5.5 to 6.0 to promote healthy development. Locate it in full to partial sun, giving the plant ample light for steady flower production. Water regularly but let the top layer of soil dry between sessions, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during active growth. In our experience, consistent feeding leads to more abundant displays of color.
Pinching back the new tips while the plant is young encourages tighter branching and a bushier silhouette. Removing faded flowers can help direct the plant’s energy back into producing fresh buds. If you plan to grow it in containers, select a sturdy support structure such as a small trellis to guide upward growth, or let it drape elegantly from a hanging planter. Before winter in cooler zones, relocate potted plants indoors and water sparingly to prevent root issues. In warm regions, clip away any leggy stems at season’s end to maintain shape and encourage future blooms.
Sun Parasol® Mauvelous Mandevilla Spacing
Provide at least 24 inches of space between individual plants in borders or mass plantings to allow adequate airflow. For a single specimen, a bit more distance highlights the plant's unique form. If you’re creating a grouping, slightly closer spacing can produce a fuller effect. A container measuring at least 14 inches across accommodates Mauvelous Mandevilla's root system.

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.
