8 MANDEVILLA

-

If you think of tropics, you think of sunshine, but mandevilla – with its perfectly pink or deliciousl­y deep red flowers – is an understore­y plant and likes partial shade in the tropics. In temperate areas, give it a sheltered, sunny spot, perhaps against a brick wall where it can pick up radiated heat. It may not flower all year in cooler areas as it does in the tropics, but in summer it will be a blast.

Build a lattice just so you can paint it with this airy vine.
