The Sun Parasol Bluephoria Mandevilla (Mandevilla hybrid) is a striking tropical flowering plant sold in a 10-inch container. This award-winning variety features coral-pink buds that open into cool, light purple-blue petals with a deep contrasting center, creating a vivid and eye-catching display throughout the warm season.

This midsized plant reaches 1 to 2 feet in height with a spread of 2 to 3 feet, making it well suited for containers, hanging baskets, patio planters, and small trellises. Its climbing and trailing habit allows it to be trained upward or left to cascade freely. Blooming from planting through frost, it attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds and requires no deadheading. The plant is resistant to deer, rabbits, disease, and common pests, and tolerates heat with ease.

Plant in slightly acidic, well-draining soil (pH 5.5–6.0) in a location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Water consistently, allowing the top layer of soil to dry between waterings, and feed every two weeks with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season. In colder climates (below USDA Zone 9), bring indoors before the first frost and overwinter in a bright, sunny location. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11 outdoors.
