Diamantinas thrive in warm days and temperate to cooler nights. This makes them suitable for summers everywhere and a winter crop in frost-free areas

Grow in sizes ranging from 6-inch containers to solo large pots or mixed containers.

Colors to come

In 2020 the line is set to expand with orange-coral bicolor choices in both bush (Jade Series) and vining (Opal series), and this deep fuchsia bush type, part of the Tourmaline Series, will complement the pale pink Tourmaline Bush Pink that’s available now.

Key features

Both bush and vining types from the Diamantina series bloom earlier than other Mandevilla/Dipladenia varieties and keep going when the mercury climbs — but the real reason why home gardeners go for these plants is the color.
