Allamanda vine is one of South Florida's most popular vines for glorious color and ease of care. With big, beautiful flowers as much as 4 inches across, it blooms on and off all year.
'Brown Bud' allamanda is the most commonly grown variety, with reddish-brown flower buds which open into bright yellow blossoms.
 
Although it's large and fast-growing, this is a well-behaved vine that won't overtake your property while your back is turned. You must train it to go where you want since it doesn't send out twining tendrils.
 
This vine needs some sort of support - or you can grow it as a somewhat rambling shrub, ideal in a cottage garden landscape style.
