I feel quite silly--I've lost the tag to this plant I've brought into the conservatory and I cannot remember the name for the life of me. I believe it began with 'h'? I'd be grateful if someone could help me remember.

Cheers!

Morning Glory? Especially if each flower only lasts for a day

Mandevilla, these are normally hybrids so the specific name is tricky and
they are often sold as Dipledenia

Mike its not Morning glory, although I can see why it could be confused

Mandevilla,


That's the one! My neighbour and I both bought different coloured ones
in the same week and went "look what I've got!" to each other. :-)
It's also the thing that I can never ever remember the name of!

Hi Mitulove, its a Mandevilla splendens (syn, Dipladenia splendens). not sure about the variety but I was selling one last year called Mandevilla sanderi 'Velvet Red' which had that intense red colour that yours has so it may be that.
regards, lannerman.

Thank you! Yes, dipladenia is what was on the tag. Wonder why my brain went for 'h'? lol
