Planting and Care Tips

When you buy bougainvillea from us, you’re investing in a hardy and rewarding plant. For the best results, plant your bougainvillea in a sunny, well-drained spot. These climbers thrive with regular watering during establishment, but once settled in, they’re impressively drought-resistant. A free-draining mix and a touch of slow-release fertiliser in spring goes a long way. Prune after flowering to shape your plant and encourage even more stunning displays next season.

For container growing, choose a large pot and sturdy trellis support. Bougainvilleas also shine as feature shrubs or cascading plants in hanging baskets.
