Allamanda blanchetii (purple allamanda, violet allamanda; Pilaghanti in Sanskrit syn. Allamanda violacea) is a species of perennial flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae native to Brazil.[1][2] Cultivated as an ornamental plant, it grows in full sun in USDA Zones 9b through 11[3] including central and south Florida, southernmost Texas, and coastal California. This plant's purple, bell-shaped blooms are about 3" across.[4] It is also called red bell. From the stem, fiber can be extracted which is very strong and silky white after chemical treatment.[5]
