Summary
Mandevilla brachysiphon, commonly known as Huachuca Mountain Rocktrumpet, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the oak woodlands and rocky slopes of the Southwestern USA and Northern Mexico. This plant typically remains low, rarely exceeding a height of 40 cm (16 inches). It features large, showy, white flowers that bloom at night and exude a strong, sweet fragrance, attracting nocturnal pollinators. The seeds of Mandevilla brachysiphon are covered in fine hairs, described as minutely puberulent.
The Huachuca Mountain Rocktrumpet is valued for its night-blooming, fragrant flowers, which can add a unique sensory experience to evening garden strolls. It is suitable for cultivation in rock gardens, as a border plant, or in containers. It thrives in part shade, requiring medium amounts of water and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. While it is generally low-maintenance, it may need protection from frost in colder climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
