25 gallon pot, 7' - 10' height - Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea's abundant and nearly year round 'flowers', its drought tolerance, and need for little maintenance make this plant a fixture in the Florida landscape. Be careful not to plant where thorns may be a problem.
Bougainvillea grows best in partial shade or full sun on well-drained soils. It tolerates hot and dry locations well. For example we've planted it on the embankments of interstate highways where no irrigation is provided and runoff removes 50% of rainfall. Nevertheless, for best flowering, you should give it regular watering.
