We are so enjoying our Mandevilla growing up around our back porch posts. I am wondering if there is anywhere in the US where Mandevilla can grow year round? Has anyone overwintered the vine? If so, how? Cut all the way back? Water or hold water? Mine are actually planted in the ground, so I would have to dig up and pot for the winter. Thank you for any help.

From what I understand, you will have to dig it up and overwinter in your house- MA is just too cold.
Try posting this in Other Flower and Plants, under the Vine Lovers Unite thread. I am sure many there are many other mandevilla growers who can help you better than I!

Thank you Aurora. I was not sure where exactly to post that. Did re-post. Thank you for the heads-up - There is just not enough time to look through this site!
