Bougainvillea in Pot - White

Plant Care:

• Since bougainvilleas are tropical natives, make sure they get plenty of sun! 
• Some varieties can handle part sun but will not perform as well as they could in full sun.
• In less than full sun, plants will be much more sparse and have a less than spectacular flower show, if any at all. 
• Keeping your bougainvillea in full sun will keep your plant blooming. 

Zones:
Perennial in 9-11; can be grown as an annual in colder zones, or brought indoors over winter.

Height/Spread:
Most varieties of bougainvillea grow 20 to 30 feet tall and wide with support. If grown as groundcover, they will be 1-1/2 to 2 feet tall and spread 8 to 10 feet wide. There are dwarf varieties which will generally grow to be 3-6 feet tall and wide.

Exposure:
Bougainvillea thrives in full sun. Some afternoon shade in extremely hot weather may be beneficial.

Bloom time:
In zones 9-11, bougainvillea will bloom on and off all year. In colder zones, it will go dormant when brought in for winter and will bloom mainly in summer.
