Bougainvillea Flower Power
Bougainvillea’s can bring an instant tropical or Mediterranean flair to your garden, with their vibrant bracts lighting up walls, fences and pergolas with dazzling colour. From rich magentas and fiery oranges to soft pinks, whites and golds, there’s a shade to suit every garden palette. For smaller spaces or pots, look for dwarf varieties such as the ‘Bambino’ range, perfect for borders, courtyards and containers.
Essential Bougainvillea Care for Vibrant Blooms
Good bougainvillea care is simple but makes all the difference. To keep your plant neat and blooming beautifully, trim it lightly with shears after each flush of flowers. This not only keeps it manageable but also encourages repeat flowering throughout the warmer months. Bougainvillea’s thrive in sunny, well-drained spots and reward consistent care with stunning colour displays.
