- Low-Maintenance Care: Once established, Allamanda Purple is relatively low-maintenance, needing only occasional pruning and watering. It’s a great plant for both experienced gardeners and beginners who want vibrant blooms with minimal effort.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers full sun to thrive. Ensure it gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to encourage abundant blooming.
- Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist, but allow it to dry slightly between waterings. While Allamanda is somewhat drought-tolerant once established, regular watering promotes better flower production.
- Temperature: This plant thrives in warm climates, ideally between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). It should be protected from frost and is best suited for USDA zones 9-11.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth with fewer flowers.
- Pruning: Prune back dead or damaged growth to keep the plant tidy and to encourage new flowering stems. If you want to control the size or shape, trim the plant after the main blooming season.
