Full coastal sun to light shade. Long bloom period from May to October. Water regularly. Plant in a well-drained soil, raised bed or keep in a container. Protect from frost or bring under cover when temperatures dip near freezing - as a test we left a plant out this last winter and it faired quite well though we have had several nights at or slightly below 32 F. This attractive plant originated from a cross made at Higashiomi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan in June 2001. The female parent was the variety 'Sunmandeho' and the male parent was the breeding line M38-1. It was selected for its upright and vigorous-vining freely-branching growth habit, glossy narrow elliptic leaves, long flowering period and large red-colored flowers with imbricate petals. It was propagated vegetatively and grown in a pot trial from May to October 2004 in Japan and received U.S. Plant Patent 17,136 in May 2007.  This description is based on research and observations of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in our nursery garden and in other gardens that we visit. We also incorporate comments received and appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have any additional information about this plant, particularly if they disagree with what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Mandevilla Sun Parasol Giant Crimson.     [MORE INFO]
