SUNDENIA® Red Improved
Dipladenia hybrid
Large Flowers with Compact Habit
Sundenia® dipladenias offer the large flowers loved in mandevillas but on a compact, manageable plant.

Colors include Red, White, Coral, a brilliant rich pink with red undertones, and new Crimson, a deep red. New Red Improved has been improved for a fuller, bushy habit, loaded with larger red blooms all season long.
