‘MandeVino™ Cabernet' has blooms that are deep red with rich colorful undertones of chocolate and cherry. This mandevilla hybrid is "estate quality" due to its early blooms that appear all the way up the vine as it is growing. Pairs well in a large mixed container with the richly colored blooms of zinnia and geranium, a grassy hint of liriope or a trailing splash of asiatic jasmine. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Planting Tips
-
Most soils benefit from the addition of organic matter such as compost, peat, or composted manure. This helps poor, sandy soils to better retain moisture, and breaks up heavy clay soil to help air, water and plant roots move more freely.
-
For new planting beds, prepare the soil by tilling and work in organic matter following product recommendations.
-
To add new plants to an established bed or use as a specimen in the lawn, dig a hole twice as wide and about the same depth as the root ball of your new plant, slightly more shallow if soil is heavy clay. Mix organic matter with the native soil.
-
If your plant is staked, take extra care that the plant stem is not damaged when the plant is removed from its container. The grower stake does not have to be removed, and can be used to guide the vine to the new support.
-
Gently remove plant from its container, taking care not to pull on the main stem.
-
Loosen roots gently if they are packed tightly into the shape of the container.
-
Plant at the same depth as it was in its container. For larger plants, make a low ring of soil around the plants, just wider than the root ball. This will help funnel the water to the plants roots during the establishment period.
-
For peat pots, break away the lip of the container so that it is just lower than the soil, then plant as above. For other plant-in-the-pot products, follow package directions.
-
Water carefully with a gentle flow, soaking the prepared soil and the transplants.
-
Mulch may be applied between the plants, keeping a few inches away from the plant stems. This will help prevent weeds and retain moisture.
-
For best results, install trellis or other support soon after planting. Keep the overall mature size of your vine in mind to ensure that the vine will be adequately supported over time.
