Madinia® Maximo Scarlet Mandevilla

Madinia® Maximo Scarlet is the vigorous, mounding and vining Scarlet color selection of Mandevilla hybrida. Its large red flowers appear from mid-spring through summer, making it suited to large containers or trellised displays. ## Size and display Syngenta lists garden height at 18–36 inches and spread at 18–30 inches. The Maximo series is selected for vigorous growth and large flowers; allow room for the vine’s spreading stems or guide them onto a support. The official profile describes this selection as pollinator-friendly. ## Growing conditions Give it full sun and warmth. Syngenta lists USDA hardiness zone 11a and categorizes the crop among annuals, so use the hardiness listing as a warm-climate cue and grow it as seasonal color in colder regions. [Syngenta’s Madinia® Maximo Scarlet profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70054748) identifies the exact color selection and product code. ## Maintenance Train vining stems to their support as they extend, and trim back stray growth to keep the display within its space. In containers, check moisture regularly during hot weather and water when the growing mix begins to dry. Remove faded flowers and damaged growth to keep the plant tidy.
