Bougainvillea Marlu

Marlu Bougainvillea

The Marlu Bougainvillea is a dwarf variety of Bougainvillea that grows compactly with few thorns, yet produces impressive flowers. Through summer it bears impressive, light purple flowers which are perfectly complemented with lush, green foliage. This evergreen typically grows to 1.5 m tall with a support structure. Without support it will grow more like a groundcover. It grows best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in either full sun or partial shade. It will tolerate light frost only once established and may become semi-deciduous in cooler climates. The Marlu Bougainvillea is commonly grown as a spectacular climber on a trellis, used as a groundcover, or planted anywhere the beauty of this plant can be enjoyed. It is well-suited to being grown in a pot and regularly trimmed.
