Hi there I have just bought one Bougainvillea Hawaiian Gold as a climber which grows up to 4m tall according to your website, but on the plant label it says that it grows only up to 1.5m tall? I need a climber, not a dwarf plant, very disappointed. Thanks Monica

Hi Monica, Thank you for your message, and apologies for the confusion. You’re correct — Bougainvillea ‘Hawaiian Gold’ is a climbing variety and can reach up to 4 m. The label stating 1.5 m is wrong. We’re sorry for any disappointment and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It should grow well as the climber you were expecting.
