Bougainvillea (Any Color) - Plant

Planting and care

These tropical climbers are suitable for large containers placed in the garden during summer but must be kept frost-free in winter.

Caring for Bougainvillea

• Irrigate only when the plants start to wilt and the soil is dry.
• The vines do need food. Fertilize your bougainvillea every month in spring and early summer.
• You will want to use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer at half the normal dosage.
• Pruning is part of the work if you are caring for bougainvillea in the garden.
• Keep your eye out for dead wood and remove it as it appears.
• Save severe cutbacks for a time after the bougainvillea has flowered.
• You can prune late in fall or very early in spring.
