This variety offers luminating white trumpet shaped flowers with bright green, glossy foliage resulting in a plant that absolutely radiates in the sun. As with all Aloha Mandevilla, Bright White will climb, trail or cascade if given the chance, but otherwise will retain a neat, compacty, shrub-like habit. Flowers late winter through to autumn. Aloha Mandevillas enjoy full sun positions with free-draining soils. They will withstand high heats and will benefit from organically enriched soils. Unlike the vigorous climbing habit of the traditional varieties from the Aloha series, Bright White will retain a neat compact, shrub-like habit. Given the chance it will also climb beautifully up a lattice or wall, producing an abundance of big white trumpet flowers. Perfect for climbing up lattice or walls, trailing in the garden or cascading from baskets. Plant in free draining soils and water in well for the first 3 weeks. Will tolerate short periods of dryness, but is best kept moist during summer. Trim lightly to promote new growth and flowering. H 2m x W 1m
