Mandevilla Red Riding Hood

Mandevilla 'Red Riding Hood' is a stunning, evergreen climbing vine known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers. The blooms are a rich, deep red, creating a striking contrast against the plant's glossy, dark green foliage. This vigorous grower can reach heights of up to 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) when provided with adequate support, making it an excellent choice for trellises, arbors, or as a ground cover in warmer climates.

'Red Riding Hood' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It's a heat and drought-tolerant plant once established, though regular watering will promote more lush growth and abundant flowering. Ideal for adding a tropical feel to gardens, patios, or balconies, this Mandevilla variety is also relatively low-maintenance. Regular feeding during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer will enhance its blooming potential. In cooler regions, it can be grown as an annual or brought indoors during the winter months to protect it from frost.
