Bougainvillea can be used as a houseplant or hanging basket in cooler climates. In the landscape, it makes an excellent hot season plant, and its drought tolerance makes it ideal for warm climates year-round. Its high salt tolerance makes it a natural choice for color in coastal regions. It can be pruned into a standard, but is also grown along fence lines, on walls, in containers and hanging baskets, and as a hedge or an accent plant. Its long arching thorny branches bear heart-shaped leaves and masses of papery bracts of flowers.
- Best suited to milder climates and features lush dark-green foliage accented with a profusion of vibrant purple flowers appearing throughout the warmer months, attracting hummingbirds.
- Great for training on fences trellises and arbors or as an impressive large container specimen.
- Bougainvillea roots don’t knit the soil together into a firm rootball in the container and are highly sensitive to disturbances. Transplanting, rough handling or knocking the rootball around can fatally injure the plant.
- Mature height & spread is around 20-25'. Full to partial sun. Medium water, once established, water occasionally.
- Planted in 2.5" x 3.5" inch pot. The starter plant size is anywhere from 3 to 6 inches. (will choose the largest one when shipped)
