Mandevilla ‘Tourmaline Fuchsia’

Common Name:
Mandevilla 'Tourmaline Fuchsia'

Description:
Mandevilla 'Tourmaline Fuchsia' is a compact, bushy variety renowned for its vibrant fuchsia-pink trumpet-shaped flowers and glossy green foliage. Unlike traditional climbing mandevillas, this cultivar exhibits a non-vining, upright habit, making it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as a striking feature in garden beds. Flowering profusely from spring through autumn, it brings a tropical flair to any setting. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained soil and protection from frost. Regular watering during dry periods and feeding with a high-potassium fertiliser will promote continuous blooming. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages further growth.
