Place it in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If planting in the ground, choose a spot with well-draining soil and space it away from walkways to accommodate its spreading habit. For container growing, use a sturdy pot with drainage holes and a quality potting mix. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, then reduce frequency as the plant matures. Bougainvillea blooms best when slightly root-bound and kept on the drier side. Protect from frost in cooler zones by moving containers indoors or providing winter protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Variegated Purple Bougainvillea live plant, approximately 7 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776200868150,"sku":"FOLIA-387","price":71.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6622060168_5b3b.jpg?v=1792468320","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/variegated-purple-bougainvillea-live-plant-7-tall-paper-flower-tropical-vine","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
