Care Tips

Plant in well-draining soil and provide plenty of full sun. Water lightly after planting, then allow soil to dry between waterings once established. Avoid overwatering, as bougainvillea flowers best when kept somewhat dry. Young plants may show temporary leaf drop after shipping; provide warmth, sunlight, and appropriate moisture as they acclimate. In cooler climates, grow in containers and overwinter indoors before freezing temperatures arrive.
