Bougainvillea Plant for Indoor/Outdoor or Bonsai - 4 Pot

The vibrant reddish-purple flowers of 'Royal Purple' are hard to resist. This standard-sized bougainvillea not only has an upright growth habit, but it also blooms almost constantly. Unlike many of its counterparts, this particular variety is not a vine and instead exhibits a shrubby, bushy growth pattern. The brightly colored flowers are less sensitive to the changing day length, allowing them to flower freely throughout the year. The blooms also retain their vivid hue even as they age.

In southern regions, 'Royal Purple' can be used as a landscape plant. It is hardy in USDA Zones 9 and above for outdoor cultivation. In cooler climates, it can be grown indoors or placed outdoors during the summer months and brought back indoors for the winter. This bougainvillea thrives in full sun, reaching a size of 2-3 feet when grown in a container. Indoors, it requires a minimum temperature of 50°F and is an ever-blooming variety.

Bougainvillea is a climbing plant that comes in a variety of colors. It is widely cultivated in the tropics and serves as a beautiful landscape plant, producing abundant colorful bracts that surround its tiny white flowers throughout the year. Bougainvillea is native to Brazil, Bolivia, or Peru.

When growing bougainvillea, it is best to plant it in an area that receives full sun, has well-drained soil, and a relatively dry climate. Water the plant when the soil becomes dry, but avoid overwatering. Fertilize during the blooming season, and train the vines to climb a nearby wall or trellis.

Bougainvillea plants can grow up to 20 feet high or wide if left untrimmed. However, you can shape and trim the plant to your desired size. Pruning is recommended when you notice dead bracts due to cold weather or if you need to reduce the plant's size to a more manageable level.

The 'Royal Purple' bougainvillea plant you will receive in your purchase is grown in a 4-inch pot by 9GreenBox, a proud homegrown provider.
