Allamanda 'Cherries Jubilee'

I've had this plant for over a year now and it is one of my absolute favorite flowering plants! It is absolutely beautiful and bloomed a...Read Morell winter long here in Titusville, FL. I will never get rid of this plant.... in fact, I'll be trying to root some cuttings this spring so I can have more plants. I purchased it at Lowes but it is not a plant they normally carry. I just got lucky and happened to "shopping" when they got an unusual shipment in.

After buying my Cherries Jubilee I went on line to check it out to make sure that I planted and cared for it correctly and found that the...Read More entire plant is 100 % poisonous to people and animals. We have dogs, so we fenced it off to keep our dogs safe and to keep our grandchildren away from it. When ever we work on it we wear disposible gloves. My neighbor would like to have the same plant but we are unsure how to grow it from a cutting (and yes we told hime its downfall). Will a cutting grow in water only or in wet sand and do you need a rooting compound? I would like to know how I can do this. We have taken cuttings and stuck them in sand and the rooted quickly, I also found they get seed pods that can be harvested and planted. I have also been told that the plant is not poisonous, but again I keep getting mixed opions on this.

I hope it is as vigorous a grower as everyone says it is. I planted it in full sun on a fence. Beauitufl flowers...sort of an antique rose color. Woohoo!

I took several tries to grow from cuttings. Once it took, it became a vigorous grower. It can and should be trained to grow in a specif...Read Moreic manor otherwise it can quickly get out of control. Beautiful trumpet shaped flowers about 5-6" wide and 3-4" long that last two or three days. Clusters of flowers will weigh down a branch causing it to droop (hence training.) I suggest an arbor, fence or lattice.

Wonderfully easy to grow. Planted here in N. Tx in the north-facing end of my garden, leaning up against a wooden fence. Loves the sun,...Read More gets a bit of late afternoon shade, and only wilts slightly on an especially hot (90's) day. Also makes a nice cut flower for a natural arrangement. This plant is amongst my favorites.
