Growing Mandevilla laxa Successfully in NZ

Mandevilla laxa, also known as Chilean Jasmine, grows well in New Zealand’s warmer regions. This vigorous climber thrives in full sun and sheltered spots with free-draining soil. It produces highly fragrant, white, star-shaped flowers during summer and early autumn. Best grown against a trellis or fence, it needs protection from heavy frost, making it ideal for container growing in cooler areas. With the proper support and warmth, Mandevilla laxa adds a stunning tropical touch to NZ gardens.

Mandevilla laxa Care Tips

Plant Mandevilla laxa in a sunny, sheltered location with well-draining soil. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in summer, but avoid waterlogging. Feed monthly with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season to encourage lush growth and flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring to control size and promote new shoots. Provide sturdy support for climbing. In cooler areas, protect from frost or grow in containers that can be moved indoors over winter.

Plant Size and Spacing

Mandevilla laxa can grow 3–5 metres tall when supported, with a spread of 1–2 metres. For planting along fences or trellises, space plants about 1–1.5 metres apart to allow room for vigorous growth and airflow. In pots, use one plant per large container with a climbing frame.
