That is a Mandevilla ... beautiful, and they grow fast and like an eastern exposure, southeastern if you can do that. I've never been able to keep one from year to year, supposed to let it go dormant, cut it back and so forth. We have four seasons here in the mountains, I do not like that 4th one with some snow ... so I just buy a new one every year 'cause they do not like it too cold.
If you put it in front of a trellis, it will be awesome all summer into fall.
