9GreenBox Purple Bougainvillea Plant - Indoors/Out or Bonsai - 4 Pot

The plumes of bright reddish purple flowers are irresistible to anyone who sees them, making 'Royal Purple' a perfectly sized standard with an upright growth habit that is hardly ever without bloom. Unlike many bougainvilleas, this one is not a vine, but has a shrubby, bushy growth habit. The brightly colored flowers are less sensitive to the shortening day length, allowing it to flower freely throughout the year, retaining its color even as it ages. In the southern regions, 'Royal Purple' can be used as a landscape plant, and it is hardy to Zone 9 and higher for outdoor growth. In cooler regions, it can be grown indoors or placed outdoors in the summer and indoors in the winter, requiring full sun, and growing to 2-3' in a container with a minimum indoor temperature of 50°. It is also an everbloomer.

BOUGAINVILLEA is a climbing plant that comes in different colors, widely cultivated in the tropics and serves as a beautiful landscape plant with abundant colorful bracts surrounding its tiny white flowers throughout the year. It is native to Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.

GROWING BOUGAINVILLEA - Bougainvillea should be planted in an area with full sun, well-drained soil, and a relatively dry climate. Water when the soil is dry, avoiding overwatering. Fertilize during the blooming season and train the vines to climb a nearby wall or trellis.

PRUNING BOUGAINVILLEA - When left untrimmed, bougainvillea plants can grow as high or as wide as 20 feet. Shaping and trimming the plant is a personal choice and can be done when there are dead bracts due to cold weather or when the plant needs to be cut back to a manageable size.

The 9GreenBox Royal Purple Bougainvillea plant that you will receive in your purchase is growing in a 4" Pot and is proudly homegrown by 9GreenBox.
