Pink Dipladenia (Dipladenia 'Pink')
Dipladenia 'Pink'

Evergreen Perennial (usually grown as an annual near you) Bushy, Trailing in the Apocynaceae Family
A compact, bushy patio plant covered in large pink, trumpet-shaped blooms all summer.
This compact, bushy 'Dipladenia'-type selection is grown for its large, vivid pink, trumpet-shaped flowers produced from late spring through fall. Unlike the vining, climbing Mandevilla types it's closely related to, it stays naturally mounded and trailing, making it a favorite for patio containers and hanging baskets. Hardy as a perennial only in warm, frost-free climates, it's grown as a seasonal annual elsewhere.

Pros

  • Large, eye-catching pink trumpet flowers all summer
  • Compact, mounded habit suits containers and small spaces
  • Relatively low-maintenance

Cons

  • Not winter-hardy outside roughly Zones 9-11
  • Mildly toxic if eaten, and the sap can irritate skin
  • Needs consistent moisture and good drainage to avoid root rot
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights Large, vivid pink trumpet flowers from late spring through fall on a compact, easy-care plant.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
