How to grow Bougainvillea ‘Pink Patch’ in NZ

Bougainvillea ‘Pink Patch’ grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant it in a warm, sheltered spot such as against a north-facing wall or on a sunny patio. Water regularly while establishing, then sparingly once mature. Avoid cold, wet conditions, as Bougainvilleas prefer drier climates.
