Dipladenia sanderi 'Red Riding Hood' (Red Riding Hood Dipladenia)

Dipladenia sanderi 'Red Riding Hood' (Red Riding Hood Dipladenia) is a compact and floriferous evergreen vine or shrub prized for its prolific display of vibrant red trumpet-shaped flowers. This attractive cultivar features glossy, dark green leaves that provide a perfect backdrop for the masses of brilliant red blooms that appear throughout the warmer months. The flowers have a subtle white throat and continue to bloom repeatedly from spring through autumn. Its neat, bushy habit makes it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as a colourful ground cover.

Ideal for patios, balconies, and tropical-style gardens, 'Red Riding Hood' thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun to partial shade. It is heat-tolerant and maintains its blooms well during hot weather, though it requires protection from frost. This low-maintenance plant is particularly valued for its long flowering season, bright colour, and ability to bring a tropical flair to small spaces or container gardens.
