Plant & Care
Dipladenias prefer well-draining soil and should be planted in a sunny to lightly shaded spot for best flowering. Water regularly while establishing, then reduce to moderate watering as they are naturally water-wise. Prune lightly at the end of winter to encourage fresh growth and fuller blooming. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer to boost flower production. Protect from heavy frost in colder regions, though Cape Town’s climate is generally very suitable.
