Mandevilla's are pretty tropical, twining vines with showy trumpet
shaped flowers.  Some varieties -

 Mandevilla amabilis "Alice du Pont", 2"-4" pink flowers, deciduous
 Mandevilla splendens, aka 'pink allamanda' & also 'Chilean jasmine', 
                       3"-4" rose pink flowers, evergreen 
 Mandevilla sanderi "Red Riding Hood",deep rose pink flowers w/yellow 
                     throats, fragrant, evergreen

I've also seen "Mandevilla" called "Dipladenia"

If grown outdoors (hardy in zones 10-11), they should be in partial 
shade with rich well drained soil.  Temps should be 60-65 at night 
and above 70 during the day.  

Indoors they need bright indirect light, keep the soil evenly moist
during growing season & let it dry slightly when they are resting.


Is this helpful?
