About Bougainvillea (Red)
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis, Nyctaginaceae family) is an evergreen, shrubby vine popular for its long-lasting, colourful bracts. This variety is a Bougainvillea x buttiana cross of compact growth, with pretty red bracts that are slightly elongated and pointed - a sought-after shade that can be harder to find.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily - reduced light means reduced flowering.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; the plant needs very little water and tolerates hot, dry conditions well.
Planting & Placement
Grows well on a porch, arch, pergola, or wall as a climber, or as a stand-alone bush. Suits full outdoor sun; avoid planting next to trees, as vigorous shoots can climb and take over.
Care
- Fertilizer: Apply organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based fertilizer supports more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain shape, ideally after a flowering flush is over. Handle the root ball gently when planting.
Flowering
Starts flowering within a year of purchase and blooms almost year-round in red bracts.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Has sharp thorns and its sap can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals - handle with gloves when pruning.
