Know before you buy
This variety is hardy in USDA Zone 9. If you live in a colder region, you can enjoy it as a seasonal annual or move your container indoors during the winter months.
To achieve the best flowering results, this bougainvillea requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, its mounding growth habit and mature size of 3 feet by 3 feet make it an excellent choice for containers and hanging baskets in smaller outdoor spaces.
While it requires regular watering when first getting established, it becomes quite drought-tolerant once mature. You should only water it when the soil feels dry to the touch.
Bougainvillea thrives in fast-draining soil. If you are planting in a container, use a high-quality potting mix designed for drainage to prevent the roots from sitting in excess water.
You only need to fertilize once a year in the spring. This provides the necessary nutrients to support its continuous blooming cycle from spring through fall.
