Mandevilla
suaveolens (syn. Mandevilla laxa) ~ Chilean Jasmine |
| I site Mandevilla
suaveolens carefully. Chilean jasmine seems to grow
best on an east facing wall. Mandevilla suaveolens has heavenly fragrance without getting too
overpowering. This tropical vine very much deserves its place in my garden but it does have some
flaws. Mandevilla suaveolens is Winter deciduous and for a long time
Chilean jasmine just looks like dead
twigs. Mandevilla suaveolens is a little tender so I put it up on the side of the
house under the eaves. Each winter my
wife asks me to take it down, and each summer I am glad that I never quite got around to
it. In the late season there are often these cool looking orange aphids. They never
seem to do much harm. Chilean Jasmine is sold under both names, Mandevilla
laxa and Mandevilla suaveolens.
