Sun Parasol^® Mauvelous Mandevilla hybrid

I grew this new variety mandevilla for the first time last year. One was in a hanging basket and the other on the patio in a large container. Both were in full sun and both were fertilized with a soluble fertilizer 20-20-20. Initially, I mixed a blossom booster fertilizer in with the 20-20-20. I fertilized once a week until September then every other week until October. These plants grew into very vigerous plants with many blooms throughout the growing season in Columbus, Ohio. Both plants essentially covered their containers with growth and blooms. This plant called Mauvelous by its developer, Suntory, is truly marvelous. Not only did it produce many blooms the blooms lasted for more than a few days. I have a gardening friend who was very skeptical about this plant at first. Now it is her favorite mandevilla to grow in containers. I look forward to growing more of these plants in the spring of 2025.
