If, like me, you live in a cooler region, you might think that growing mandevilla is out of the realm of the possible. After all, mandevilla is native to the hot and humid regions of the Americas, and does not enjoy sudden drops in temperature. However, learning how to grow mandevilla in pots makes this tropical perennial a possibility for anyone.
There are two mandevilla options to consider: mounding, with a shrub-like appearance, or vining, typically cascading over structures or trellises. In small yards, such as narrow town gardens or balconies, growing upwards and filling vertical surfaces or structures might be your best bet, but either of these two options will look impactful.
