Bougainvillea Elizabeth – 85mm

Bougainvillea Elizabeth is a medium grower but can be kept smaller if pruned regularly. It has a slightly cascading habit and flowers almost constantly throughout the year. It’s bracts are a magenta-purple and make a fantastic display. They will survive with little watering and are relatively disease free. 

Bougainvillea are long flowering and can be adapted for a wide variety of landscaping uses. Some of these uses include topiary, hedging, hanging baskets, arbours and arches. Today’s Bougainvillea have a great range in growth habit and height. There are dwarf varieties that grow to only a metre, compact medium growers and some such as White Cascade that offer a beautiful cascading habit. Bougainvillea prefer a well drained soil and sunny position. The range of colours offers limitless combinations and a palette to choose from that would satisfy any landscape design.

If you prefer your plants just that little bit bigger the 3 pack x 85mm pots is for you.
