The Bougainvillaea originates from South Africa and is a real sun worshipper, making it a great way to add a head-turning and vibrant bloom of colour during the summer months. Ideally, it should be placed in a sunny, sheltered spot on the patio, courtyard, or balcony, but it can also be planted in the garden.
Supplied in an approx 4-5 litre container with an overall height of approx 80-90cms and full of bright colour when in season. This Bougainvillaea transforms a sunny patio into a Mediterranean haven. The semi-evergreen climber delivers dazzling pops of colour in the summer months, blooming bold clusters of papery magenta-purple flowers. This tender perennial can be grown outside during the summer months and then brought into a conservatory, heated greenhouse or sunny windowsill indoors when temperatures drop.
Normally retailing for £39.99, this Bougainvillaea patio tree is currently up for grabs from Gardening Express for the reduced price of £24.99 while this offer lasts.
