I would recomend the for 10,5 – 12cm pots, a market with great potential!

All ‘Pink’ – All ‘Good’
In Mandevilla the red color dominates but in the bedding plants assortment the pink color is a great seller!
Kientzler offers quiet a bit of pink varieties and so you could have a Bella Summer with Mandevilla ‘Bella’ in pink!
‘Bella Pink Panther’
is one of my favourites. The intense pink fits perfect with:
- Light Pink Gaxaxy Roses
- Geranium Toscana Laura
- Coleus Choclate Covered Cherry
‘Bella Pink Jewel’
likes to climb, is making tendrills and stays good on racks. The pink ring in the center matches the partners:
- Polygonum capitatum
- Geranium Toscana Raiko
- Hypoestes Hippo Rose in the back
In combinations the ‘Bella Pink Jewel’ is realy vibrant!
‘Bella Grande Light Pink’
A great climber and perfect for bigger pots with Pyramids, Racks and Arcos.
The clear pink fits to almost all colors (except orange). This variety should not be missed in any program!
Last but not least – ‘Bella Red’
The Mandevilla ‘Bella Red’ is compact variety with potential and good in smaller pots and also on medium sized Pyramids and Racks.
This variety is doing a very good job in window boxes, but also grown as solitär and bush on climbing aids. We are very enthusiastic about the combination with Kientzlers pink Chamaesyce hypericifolia (Euphorbia)
‘Bella Red’ characteristics
This plant on the right shows a combination out of:
- a Pyramid in the center
- 3 plants in 11cm pot around
The plant is full, bushy and shows a great bud-count.
The ‘Bella Red’ can be used also in mixed combinations.
