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.
The purple flowered variety tends to have the form of a bush, but other colors tend to be more sprawling like a vine. Bougainvillea may be shaped to a variety of forms and uses including vine, espalier, large scale groundcover and small tree. Regular pruning is necessary to shape the plant.
Delivery is free within Broward, Miami-Dade, and southern Palm Beach County.
