Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is a vibrant and hardy climbing shrub renowned for its spectacular, colorful bracts and sprawling growth. Native to South America, Bougainvillea is celebrated for its papery, brightly colored bracts that come in shades of pink, purple, red, orange, and white, which surround its small, inconspicuous flowers. This plant typically grows as a vigorous vine or bush, reaching heights of up to 30 feet, and is ideal for covering trellises, walls, and arbors. Bougainvillea thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun, which enhances its blooming potential. It is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, requiring minimal watering once established, though it benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage dense flowering. Its striking display of color and adaptability make it a popular choice for creating vibrant, tropical garden settings. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer a variety of high-quality Bougainvillea plants to infuse your garden with beauty and charm.
