I'm also hoping for a mandavilla, red, or pink or blush. But I may have an extra Illustris.
I have some Passiflora Incarnata seed purple/white.
for a trade of your hosta.

I currently have a Giant Crimson Mandevilla... I could send a cutting if you will kindly instruct me on the best way to do this, I would be happy to share it with you.
It sounds wonderful. I am clueless about rooting them, has anyone done that before? Do they root very easily?
hrmmm, not sure. I will investigate tho.. this could be a learning experience for us both :)
and when I find out, I'll send it to ya.. this one will be on me.
Hi, I have used rooting compound on several things before. I bet they will do fine. Do you have only the red? I have zone envy. I have to over winter here in zone 6. I think the pinks and whites are pretty too!

well, I have a 'mystery' color...LOL, meaning, I bought it at a garden center before it was in bloom, so I am not sure what the color is just yet. I have a feeling that its pink, and you are welcome to a cutting of that as well.
OK do you want to try first and see if you are successful?
Probably. I think this weekend I will get some root hormone and take a cutting. if you like, I can keep ya updated...LOL, then you will have a better chance of rooting one when I send a cutting to you.
I root my mandevilla by placing a small pot next to the mandy and then I put a length of vine in the small pot making sure that I have a node in the dirt. I do not cut the vine from the mama until it has rooted. I have failed many times rooting mandy using other methods.
Teresa,
Do you have a hosta that is sun tolerant? I have EEs.
I could also use non-invasive ground covers, or small foliage plants.

I've rooted Mandevilla in florist foam,( the kind they use for live flower arrangements). Use about a 1 1/2 in square of the florist foam, make a hole w/ a toothpick in the center, but not all the way to the bottom. Take your cutting by making an "angled' cut at a leaf node. Dip in rooting hormone, carefully insert in foam, set in some sort of small container w/ water to let foam soak up the water and swell up around the cutting, I cover w/ large sandwich bag and keep in a bright warm spot. I've currently got several cuttings of red, pink that the roots are just starting to show thru the foam ( about 10 days) and just potted up two whites. This method has worked really well for me w/ Passionflowers also, and I'm trying it with a Pipevine now too.
Worth a try.......
Do you have any to trade now? I have an ad in classified, take a look.
Thanks,
Teresa
Teresa,
The Patriot hosta is gorgeous.
Right now I have some colocaisa Illustris, roughly 8-10 inches tall, in 4" pots.
I also have colocaisa Black Stem, larger than the Illustris.
I have several xanthosoma Sagittifolia, Arrowleaf Elephant Ear.

Hi, no mandlevilla vines at all :( How about callas?
