What customers say
Customer satisfaction centers on the rarity and genetic quality of the Bougainvillea 'California Gold'. Reviewers consistently praise Logee's for delivering healthy, well-rooted specimens, ensuring a strong start. The primary appeal is the unique golden yellow bract potential, highly valued by collectors. While initial leaf drop is expected post-shipping, the secure packaging minimizes transit issues. A minor point of friction involves the small size relative to the premium price. However, experienced gardeners feel the superior root quality and the difficulty in sourcing this specific cultivar justify the investment. The consensus is that this plant is highly recommended for those seeking its vibrant, unique coloration and prepared to offer specialized care.
