Assorted Bougainvillea - Bougainvillea glabra
Bougainvillea produces the heaviest colour of any climber grown in Australia, and it does so on the least water. What appear to be flowers are papery bracts surrounding the tiny true blooms, which is why the colour lasts for weeks rather than days. Bougainvillea glabra is supplied here as an assortment, so bract colour varies between plants across the magenta, purple, pink, white and orange range, and all of them share the same vigorous thorny scrambling habit that wants a wall, a frame or a hard prune.
Why Bougainvillea
Colour Duration: Bracts hold colour for weeks, giving far longer display than true flowers would.
Thrives on Neglect: It flowers hardest when kept dry and lean. Rich soil and heavy watering produce leaves instead.
Coastal and Salt Hardy: Untroubled by salt-laden wind on exposed coastal blocks.
Vigorous Cover: Fast enough to clothe a pergola, fence or blank wall within a couple of seasons.
Security Value: Strong recurved thorns make a planted boundary genuinely difficult to cross.
Handle with care: The stems carry sharp thorns at the leaf axils. Wear gloves when pruning or tying in, and keep it clear of paths, seating and play areas.
Ideal Applications
Pergola and Carport Cover: Trained overhead it gives shade and a canopy of colour through the warm months.
Boundary Wall: Tied onto wires against a high wall it converts blank masonry into a colour panel.
Clipped Shrub: Pruned hard and regularly it can be kept as a freestanding mound instead of a climber.
Large Container: Root restriction in a pot actually increases bract production.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2.5m centres along a fence or wall for full cover.
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m where grown as separate feature plants, and well away from paths and doorways because of the thorns.
Best Planting Season: Spring and summer, once frost risk has passed.
Soil & Drainage: Free-draining soil of low to moderate fertility. Frost tender, so it suits coastal and warm temperate to tropical districts rather than cold inland gardens.
Establishment Care: Water regularly for the first few months to settle the root ball, which is brittle and should be disturbed as little as possible at planting. After that, water sparingly and avoid high-nitrogen fertiliser, and prune after each flowering flush to build a framework of short flowering spurs.
