The Mandevilla ‘Tropical Grande Merlot’ is a vigorous variety known for its large deep burgundy to deep wine red flowers.
The hue is rich and velvety, darker than a classic red, giving it a sophisticated and tropical look. The trumpet-shaped flowers are borne on a climbing plant that can also be espaliered on a trellis or stake.
Perfect for patio pots, decorative containers, and vertical supports in full sun.
