What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Bougainvillea ‘Fire Opal’ for its stunning, vibrant coloration, noting the fiery bracts transition beautifully through orange, pink, and red. The quality of the plant stock is consistently highlighted, with reviewers appreciating the robust root systems and vigorous growth once established. Logee's provides healthy, true to type specimens. A recurring point of friction involves shipping shock, where some plants arrive temporarily stressed with leaf drop. While experienced gardeners expect this recovery, newer owners may be initially disappointed given the price. Despite this transit hurdle, the long term consensus confirms the plant's unique beauty and quality make it a prized, exceptional bloomer.
