Dipladenia

Dipladenia is a sun-loving, vining plant known for its bright trumpet-shaped flowers and glossy green leaves. Often confused with mandevilla, this compact cousin stays more bushy than sprawling, making it perfect for pots, hanging baskets, and garden beds.

Blooming nonstop through the warm months, Dipladenia brings vivid color to patios, porches, and sunny borders. It's easy to grow, drought tolerant once established, and a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies.
