• Easy care  • Drought tolerant  • Non-stop blooms

Rios produce beautiful bright blooms and lush foliage yet are hardy enough to thrive in non-tropical climates all season long, from mid-May to mid-October. They are both the perfect bedding plant and an outstanding accent for hanging baskets or planters. Tropical plants and cooler weather may seem like an unlikely combination, but the Rio dipladenias are heat and cold tolerant.
