Pink Allamanda (Mandevilla x amoena 'Alice du Pont') - Description
This fast growing, woody, tropical vine has stunning pink, funnel-like flowers that appear throughout summer. The flowers have a Morning Glory feel to them with a pinwheel twist. Amazing floral display that is a worthy centerpiece in a tropical themed yard. Let this vine scramble up a trellis or open wall to really get the best show possible! Extremely tender perennial, so will really only thrive as year round plant in the very deep south. Fantastic annual to grow in cooler parts of North America--just don't expect it to get anywhere near the large size it can achieve as a perennial.
