Perfect for covering walls, fences and pergolas, Bougainvillea can also be trained as a feature shrub, clipped into a hedge or grown in containers. Give it full sun, warmth and excellent drainage for the best flowering, and avoid excessive watering, as established plants have relatively low water needs. Its thorny stems can also make it useful as a colourful screening or security planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrant fuchsia-pink bracts create a spectacular display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun-loving, it thrives in warm sunny positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow water needs once established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile and perfect for walls, pergolas, screens and pots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong flowering season, enjoy colour from spring into autumn in favourable conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant in full sun and well-drained soil, as plenty of direct sunlight encourages the best flowering. Water regularly while establishing, then water deeply but less frequently allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune lightly after a flowering flush to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. More substantial shaping is best done in late winter or early spring before vigorous new growth begins. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose spectacular fuchsia “flowers” aren’t actually flowers at all!
