it has shiney leaves. a climber. sold to my neighbor ,here in michigan as a clemantis! nd thinks it will come back next year! no way! looks tropical to me..

she asked me to take care of it,until it is time to plant..(gardening in my other hobby and love)

All I know is that it's pink and pretty

Looks like mandevilla to me. Not sure if I spelled it right but I winter them in the house and then put them out all summer.
I'm a Yankee girl living in Ohio hahaha

Looks like mandevilla to me....

There is a version of Clematis that is called a trumpet vine, could that be it?

thats it Mandevilla! and that is what i had last year..just for the summer of course..

:roll: thanks!

I believe it is called a Mandevillas. I live in South Carolina and they sell them in all the nurseries down here each summer. For us they are more of an annual, as it is a real tropical plant and zone 7 is still too cold for it in the winter.

that is a alamander sp? they come in white pink and yellow. You have to trim them or they can become invasive

I agree Madavilla ,,, very pretty and Hummingbirds love them !!!! I left mine outside last year and they are not coming back this year ,, They do like to hang, and will climb for you !!!! But bring them in when it gets to freezing !!! Alot of Sun and water Regualr ,,, if leaves look like they are burning to much Sun !!!!

It is a mandevilla. Bougianvila have thorns.

Mandevilla they come is colors from red to white. Plant will not winter in your area. Keep roots mulched ane vne/stem and flowers love sunshine. You can contact Park Seed Company, Greenwood, S.C. they will be able to help you. They do have a web site.

yep yep ..... Mandevilla it is......

definately NOT a northern plant...cut it back before u bring it in to over winter.

I’m not sure what it is but it isn’t a bougainvillea. It’s pretty whatever it is.

I'm no Southern Gal ... am further north than you.
Looks like a Mandevilla (sp?) that I kept on my deck last summer! Lovely flowers!!! :)

That's what it looks like to me, too. We bring all of our tropicals in between Halloween & Thanksgiving and put them out again after Tax Day. Occasionally there will be an early or late frost and we have to change that schedule but it holds most of the time.

My MIL has had a mandevilla for years and that is exactly how she keeps it alive.

It's definitely NOT bougainvillea.

It is a mandevilla. :thumbup:

this is a mandsvilla and will not come back. you just have to manage to leep it alive. It is a most beautiful tropical plant.

What a beautiful mandevilla! And, it looks like you have a few lady bugs to protect it. The lady bugs will keep aphids away from it.

I have one here in Spain and I still have the ticket on it. They call it "Dipladenia Hybrid"
Also on the ticket it says ideal for full sun or semi shade Resistant from heat, Resistant from rain, compact and habit and fast growing. Easy to maintain, low water consumption.

The one I have is crimson and is called Crimson King

Hope that helps

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 is a Mandevilla. We had one exactly like this that we bought from Lowes here in NC last summer, planted it out and was beautiful, but it didn't survive the winter here like the tag said it should and our winters here are mild.

We just bought another very pretty red one today at the Farmer's market here in NC.

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.

It is Mandavilla. This is what I do in CT. It cannot survive the winter.

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

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.

Is that a horse in your Avatar? What's the story?

It does look like what we call clematis in VA and they take over your yard, come back bigger and more invasive every year.

When I worked at a nearby large greenhouse ..this plant with not-shiney leaves was called a mandevilla. The shiney leafed one were dipladenias. Either way I'm sure they're very closely related.

It is a Mandevilla.
Some times they come back
but most times NOT.
They also come in yellow.
J J

lg nasty ones!

It is a MANDAVILLA I don't know its Latin name I have one in the dining room/plant room I finally bought the 8 inch pot on sale at the end of season 2yrs ago it still set me back $20 I bring it in for winter and she's about 5 ft tall now the blooms are big and beautiful and a scent is from Heaven The first time I saw them was outside Atlanta,Georgia as a privacy fence I water it when the dirt is dry down to the depth of 2 inches our winters in ohio are to severe to leave it outside so I just change her into a bigger pot to prevent her getting pot bound

Looks like a mandevilla to me.

I'm not sure, but I agree with you all, it looks like Mandevilla to me too. It is so beautiful.

That is a Mandevilla. I have one just like it and same color. It loves sun and water but not drowning. It will grow to 8 feet tall. Good luck with it. They are such beautiful plants!!!!! I wintered mine over by a window with a lot of light and in a room which was a steady 65 degrees. Only watered it once a week and not too soaking.

Could be a hybrid bougainvilla, although I've never seen one with such big leaves, but most definitely not trumpet vine. It does look tropical, doesn't it?
