Description

Purple Allamanda (Allamanda blanchetii) is a vigorous tropical vine admired for its rich, trumpet-shaped purple flowers and lush green foliage. Unlike its more common yellow cousin, this variety stuns with velvety, deep lavender to purple blooms that flourish in warm, sunny climates. A fast-growing climber or sprawling shrub, it brings vibrant color and tropical beauty to fences, trellises, arbors, and large containers.

Native to Brazil, Purple Allamanda thrives in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil. It blooms prolifically from spring through fall and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. While it can be trained to climb or pruned to form a bush, it benefits from regular trimming to control size and encourage bushier growth. This plant is best suited to frost-free regions or grown as a summer annual or greenhouse specimen in cooler areas. Please note: all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so caution is advised around pets and children.
