Kathy,

I can't answer your question but my mother asked me for the same
information this a.m. so could you pass along any that you receive,    
I believe we live in the same zone, I live in Michigan.
This is what she emailed me this a.m. with her questions included:  
Go into internet and ask how to winterize a Mandivilla plant?  Can it be
restarted from shoots?  Will it survive as a houseplant or need to be
planted in the ground. 
Thank you 
Caye
