Allamanda blanchetii deserves a prominent place in your garden or patio. Commonly referred to as the Purple Allamanda or Violet Allamanda, this stunning flowering vine offers a splash of vivid lavender or purplish-pink blooms, standing out among the more common yellow varieties of the Allamanda genus.The flowers of Allamanda blanchetii are funnel-shaped and measure around 3 to 4 inches across, with a velvety texture that gives them a luxurious, almost plush appearance. Their color varies from rosy lavender to deep mauve, sometimes with a hint of magenta in full sun. The leaves are glossy, leathery, and deep green, providing a rich contrast to the vibrant blooms.This plant blooms from late spring through fall, and in frost-free regions, it may continue flowering year-round. The continuous bloom cycle makes it a favorite for tropical and subtropical gardens.
