Sun Parasol Giant Pink Mandevilla

Sun Parasol Giant Pink Mandevilla (Mandevilla x 'Sunmandecos')

Sun Parasol Giant Pink Mandevilla (Mandevilla x 'Sunmandecos') is a heat-loving tropical vine that produces oversized, bright pink trumpet flowers and glossy deep green foliage through the warm season. It is made for sunny patios, porches, and pool areas, holding up well in heat and humidity while keeping a clean, polished look in containers. The large blooms read clearly from a distance and give outdoor spaces a bold, cheerful color story that lasts from early summer into fall. Trained up a trellis or allowed to trail from a container, this mandevilla becomes a high-impact focal point that adds height, color, and a finished feel to outdoor living areas.

Distinctive Features

The defining feature is the flower size, with extra-large trumpet blooms that create strong color impact even in bigger pots and open patios. Sun Parasol selections are known for steady flowering and dependable performance when given warmth, sun, and consistent feeding. Thick, glossy foliage provides a lush tropical backdrop and keeps the plant looking full and premium between bloom cycles. Its natural climbing and trailing habit makes it easy to style, from a tall trellis centerpiece to a cascading accent that softens the edge of a container.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun for best flowering; part sun is tolerated but can reduce bloom.
• Soil: Well-drained potting mix or rich, well-drained garden soil; avoid heavy, soggy sites.
• Water: Moderate; water thoroughly, then allow the top of the soil to dry slightly before watering again.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 11; grown as an annual or overwintered indoors in colder zones.
• Habit: Tropical flowering vine with climbing and trailing growth.
• Mature Size: About 3 to 8 feet tall when trained, with a spread of about 2 to 4 feet, depending on support and season length.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Train on a trellis in a large container to create a vertical summer centerpiece on a patio or deck.
• Entry and Porch Styling: Place near doors for a bright, welcoming look that holds color through the season.
• Poolside Color: Add a resort feel and strong flower color where sun and heat are most intense.
• Balcony Height and Privacy: Use with a narrow trellis to add height and a soft screen without taking up much space.
• Bold Container Pairings: Combine with white blooms, silver foliage, or deep greens for high contrast, modern container designs.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Water consistently, especially in containers; avoid letting the plant sit in water, and do not let it dry out completely.
• Feeding: Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a bloom-friendly fertilizer to support continuous flowering.
• Training: Guide stems onto a trellis early; gentle tying helps create a clean, vertical shape.
• Pruning: Lightly pinch or prune to encourage branching and a fuller look; remove damaged growth as needed.
• Overwintering: In cold zones, bring indoors before frost and grow in bright light, or treat as a seasonal annual.
