Mandevilla Summer Romance™ Double Pink

Mandevilla Summer Romance™ Double Pink is a twining mandevilla with glossy green leaves and large, double pink flowers. Its [plant profile](https://www.gardenia.net/plant/mandevilla-summer-romance-double-pink) reports late-spring-to-frost flowering, full-sun growth in moist, well-drained soil, and heat tolerance; Mississippi State’s [trial entry](https://blogs.extension.msstate.edu/ornamentals/plant/tri15078/) lists this exact selection as a sun annual. ## Growing Give it a sunny location, with some afternoon shade in especially hot areas. Grow it in a container or train the twining stems on a small trellis; mandevillas are tropical and cold-sensitive, so North Carolina State Extension recommends container growing where frost occurs and moving plants indoors for winter. ## Maintenance Keep the potting mix evenly moist but not soggy, and allow excess water to drain. The plant profile recommends pruning in late winter or early spring, shortening side shoots to a few buds to encourage compact growth and flowering. Check foliage for whiteflies, spider mites, and mealybugs, which can affect mandevillas.
