Bougainvillea
130.00
Bougainvillea gives bright pink, orange or purple flowers almost all year. It comes in a 30cm pot. It loves full sun and does not need much water once it settles in.
Bougainvillea is famous for its bright papery flowers in pink, magenta, orange, or purple, which actually surround tiny white flowers in the middle. It is originally from South America but has become one of the most common garden plants across the Gulf.
It comes in a 30cm pot and loves full, direct sun all day, so a sunny balcony, garden wall, or a spot near a fence works perfectly in the UAE. It also climbs, so give it something to grow against if you want more height.
Water it well for the first few weeks after planting, then cut back, since Bougainvillea actually flowers best when it is a little dry, not overwatered. Trim it after a big bloom to keep it neat and encourage even more flowers next season.
