| Hello,
This is my first post on this forum. I figure the folks here would know more about this plant. For the last few summers, I 8have bought Mandevilla vine plants. They can be pricey, and I can already tell, I will not be able to afford them this year. I wish to locate some seed for them. I have looked, but to no avail as yet. I also need some sprouting & growing information. If anyone has seed or knows where to get some, PLMK. Thank you so much,

| Robin, I tried sending you an answer to the question that you emailed me and got a message from yahoo saying that it was undeliverable. Anyhow, I am not sure where to get seeds right now..maybe on the FL or Calif. forums people may have more luck with thier mandevilleas being pollinated thereby have fresh seeds available. They seem to be pollinated better in tropical/subtropical enviornments. My mandevillea had a pod last year but I didn't get any this year. I think that one pod was due to being pollinated by hawk/hummingbird moths. |

| That is helpful, thank you. I did not think to go on the CA and FL forums to look. I'll give it a try! Robin |

| I have had the same 2 mandevilla vines growing in large plastic pots that have been growing every sumeer outside. One had a seed pod and that is how I grew the second vine. Took a long time to germinate, and three years before it bloomed. I can overwinter in the greenhouse and clip them back. Once warm enough, outside they go and usually flower quickly. A friend overwinters in the basement.. |

| Robin...have you ever shopped at www.accentsforhomeandgarden.com ? They sell Mandevilla for 5.95 ...plants come in 4" growing pots..I've been shopping at Accents several years and have yet to be disappointed. Toni |
