How to care for Mandevilla Sundaville Fashion Red ('Sunpa 316') (Sundaville Series):
Mandevilla is best grown as a tropical houseplant and will require a large pot, and is best sited in a well-lit conservatory or heated glasshouse.
Apply a general purpose fertiliser during the growing season and avoid overwatering in winter. In late-winter or early-spring thin out over-crowded growth by pruning side-shoots to within three or four buds of the main woody woody stems of the plant.
Avoid contact with its white sap, which can cause irritation.
