The Bougainvillaea hails from South Africa and is a true sun lover, making it a fantastic way to add a show-stopping 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 approximately 4-5 litre container with an overall height of roughly 80-90cms and bursting with vibrant colour when in season, this Bougainvillaea can transform a sunny patio into a Mediterranean paradise. This semi-evergreen climber offers 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.
Usually retailing for £39.99, this Bougainvillaea patio tree is currently available from Gardening Express for the discounted price of £24.99 while stocks last.
If you’d rather shop elsewhere, you can find this Bougainvillaea Red on Trellis from You Garden, with prices starting at £29.99. Meanwhile, if you want that stunning and vibrant colour but fancy a more British flower, you can find this Pink Climbing Rose Bush for £26.99.
