Allamanda
Miniature Allamanda
Allamanda are popular as ornamental plants cultivated for their large, colourful flowers. Most species produce yellow flowers although A. blanchetii bears pink blooms. The flower has five lobed sepals and a bell- or funnel-shaped corolla of five petals. The plants do not tolerate shade or salty or alkaline soils, and they are sensitive to frost. They grow rapidly, sometimes spreading 3 meters per year. They can be propagated from cuttings. Dwarf allamanda varieties are excellent small hedges, or to line sidewalks or walkways.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant young plants in spring in a sunny site. They do not do well in shade. The soil should be acidic or neutral and should be moist and well drained. Do not plant in a waterlogged area. In colder climates, they can be planted in containers which can be brought in for winter protection.
