Can Mandevilla survive winter
How should you protect Sundaville (Mandevilla or Dipladenia) over the winter. This climber comes from South America, so it is not frost hardy.
Move the plant indoors once the temperatures have dropped to around 5 degrees Celsius. Overwinter at temperatures of 10-14 degrees Celsius.
Water sparingly during the winter months. In spring, when the plant starts to put on new growth, it needs more water. Sundaville can be placed outdoors at the end of April or May when the danger of frost has passed.
