Thanks for all the info and tips! i will take good care of them for my neighbor until it is safe to plant. my house faces east, so they will get morning sun,inside until then.
i had the Crimson red one last year..it was a real beauty on my deck..i already have hummers and monarchs coming to my garden in the summer months. |
I just purcased one just like that and it is called a Mandevilla the tag said its a fast growing climber and that it is a part to full sun.flowers from spring to fall says it is a annual. hope this helps.

It's a mandevilla. Prepare to treat it as an annual (a one season wonder) or to bring it in for winter. Cut back to about 2 feet and find a sunny spot for it inside. I have had minimal luck in NJ. It will stay alive (barely) but recover nicely outside in the summer. Mine never looks as good as the first year.

Its a Mandevilla, a tropical plant.
Usually used as a container plant. Will not stand any cold weather. Kept inside it will develop white flies, so best used outside in the summer. |

Trumpet vines has small little flowers that has shape of a trumpet. I brought the seeds with me when I move to IA from MS. Mine are red.

This not a clematis. The leaves are way to big and so is the flower. A gal from Mississippi.

Like most have said it is a Mandevilla.. Now if you had a bouganvillea you would know right away, thay have small blooms and they have nasty thorns. Bouganvilleas do not really vine they have very long,branches ( not the right word) but just had a Senior Brain freeze :roll: They get very long and high,unless you prune they can be unruly.. But they are Beautiful too. BillsBonBon
