Vining Dipladenia Opal Merlot

Order WebTrack
This series is part of the Diamantina™ Collection of genetics bred by mandevilla and dipladenia expert Lannes of France. These sun and heat-loving varieties are earlier to bloom, with better branching and blooming capacity than the competition. Great alone or mixed with other sun-loving varieties in patio or garden containers with a support (like a trellis). Includes colors not available in any other mandevilla/dipladenia series. Programmable for a wide range of sizes in trellised production.
Beautiful saturated merlot blooms with extremely vigorious vining.
