The Sun Parasol Bluephoria Mandevilla (Mandevilla hybrid) is a striking tropical vine sold in a 1-gallon container. This award-winning variety features coral-pink buds that open to reveal unique blue-toned petals with a deep contrasting center, creating a constantly changing color display from spring through frost. Part of the Sun Parasol Original XP series by Suntory, it offers superior branching, earlier blooming, and more flowers than standard mandevillas.

This compact, midsized plant reaches 1 to 2 feet in height with a 2 to 3 foot spread, making it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, patios, or training on a small trellis. Its climbing and trailing habit works well as a thriller in mixed container combos. The evergreen glossy green foliage stays lush even in high heat and humidity. Bluephoria is low maintenance, requiring no deadheading, and is resistant to deer, rabbits, disease, and common pests.

Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 6.0) and provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry between sessions, and feed every two weeks with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season. Hardy in USDA Zones 9 through 11, it should be brought indoors before first frost in colder regions. Bluephoria attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a pollinator-friendly addition to any outdoor space.
