Hi Loveweeds. Have looked around and discovered that Dipladenia is a Mandevilla . Bad news is that it doesn't look suitable as a climber in terms of winter temperatures: looks like it needs to go in a greenhouse. What puzzles me is that Homebase (Dublin) had tons of them for sale and I don't...

Thanks - so long as its harmless i will leave it alone ...

Mine is an old bush too Robajobs but I have to admit it flowers & fruits heavily every year even though I cut it back like the hedge..
