About Bougainvillea (White)
Bougainvillea spectabilis is an evergreen shrubby vine from the Nyctaginaceae family, grown for its long-lasting, papery colored bracts that surround small true flowers. This white-flowering form makes profuse, near-continuous bracts and is a hardy, low-maintenance climber or shrub.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily; shade reduces flowering.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water sparingly - when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. Bougainvillea tolerates dry stress well, and a little water stress can encourage more flowering.
Planting & Placement
Can be grown as a climbing vine on arches, pergolas, trellises, and compound walls (it needs a support structure to climb), or trained as a free-standing bush. Handle the root ball gently when transplanting - Bougainvillea has few, fine roots that don't tolerate disturbance well.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based fertilizer encourages more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Prune after flowering to maintain shape; regular pruning keeps growth in check.
Flowering
Flowers within a year of planting and blooms almost year-round, with white bracts appearing in flushes.
Bougainvillea has sharp thorns along its stems, and the sap can mildly irritate skin - handle with gloves during pruning or repotting. This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline.
