Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Mandevilla plant is provided that was created through controlled cross-breeding. The female parent was a Mandevilla amabilis `Rose Giant` plant and the male parent was a Mandevilla boliviensis plant. The new variety exhibits a lianous growth habit and well tolerates heat. Attractive yellowish-white flowers having a vivid yellow throat are formed over an extended period of time. The flower petals curve outwards. Olive green leaves having an entire margin are formed. Plants of the new variety are well suited for growing in pots that are equipped with a support for climbing.
