As well as a deep rose pink bougainvillea in the main picture we do also have some more unusual white bougainvillea this week. Both colours are looking really nice and bushy with masses of bracts, please just make a note in the special instructions box if you have a colour preference. We also have an even larger version of these bougainvillea available in purple from the 'larger plants' selection

Bougainvillea
Pink, purple and rose bracts
Bougainvilleas grow widely across southern europe and Africa and are a great reminder of sunny holidays. In the UK they are surprisingly easy to grow in a warm sheltered spot. Because the colourful blooms are actually bracts they are very long lasting and after the first flush of summer, the plant will continue to put on new coloured leaves again and again.
Season: Apr to Sep
How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Bougainvillea
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Bougainvilleas are usually grown outdoors in warm Mediterranean countries, However they will also do well on a UK patio in the summer or indoors on a sunny window sill or conservatory. As long as they have enough light, bougainvillea are really very easy to look after and will provide colour for most of the summer. The bright purple and pink tones actually come from their bracts (leaves) and the ’real’ flowers are the white centres.
Light is very important to Bougainvillea. Try and keep it near a window or in a porch or conservatory. On sunny days you can put it out on a patio or balcony. However, don’t let it get too hot or cold, while in a small pot. A cool room is fine, but a draughty porch or a frosty conservatory is not. If it gets below 5 degrees Centigrade it will suffer.
As the flowers fade, pinch out the dead blossoms to encourage growth and make the plant look tidy. You should find that your bougainvillea flowers several times throughout the summer and at the end of each flush of flowers you may need to cut back the dead stalks to keep it neat. Bougainvillea respond well to being quite pot bound so unless your plant really puts on a lot of growth over the summer it should not need repotting until next Spring. At that time you are best to use a slightly acidic free draining compost. Over time in the right spot these pretty plants can grow to a sizeable bush.
In this country the low light levels in the winter months can lead to some leaf drop. Give your plant a light prune in the early spring to tidy it up and it will soon produce a fresh flush of green leaves followed by coloured bracts and flowers. If you are struggling to produce or reproduce the flowering bracts try moving to a sunnier position.
