Sundenia® Coral Dipladenia Plant

The Sundenia® Coral Dipladenia offers the large, vibrant flowers dipladenias are known for, with the compact, bushy growth that makes it distinct from traditional mandevilla vines. Its coral-colored 3-5 inch blooms sit atop glossy green foliage, making it ideal for smaller spaces such as patios, containers, or hanging baskets. Growing to a height of 12-24 inches and spreading 18-24 inches, this plant combines the manageable size of a dipladenia with the showy, tropical blooms of a mandevilla, perfect for adding continuous color to your outdoor space.
