How to Grow

Bourgainvilleas are tender perennials and require a minimum night time temperature of 10°C (50°F). They can be placed outdoors during summer but moved into a frost-free position over winter, such as a conservatory, heated greenhouse or sunny windowsill. When growing indoors, avoid a position in direct sunlight.

Bourgainvilleas are drought tolerant and resent having soggy roots. Water regularly during the summer using a drench and drought regime, allowing the plant to almost dry out between waterings. Water sparingly during the autumn and winter. Feed weekly from spring, commencing with a high nitrogen feed and swapping to a high potash feed when the flower bracts begin to form.

More Info

Bourgainvilleas flower on new wood and any pruning should be carried out at the end of February before new growth commences. Thin out congested and dead stems. Bourgainvilleas can be grown as standards or spur-pruned to restrict size whilst maximising flowering.

Bourgainvilleas are vigorous plants and should be given a sufficient-sized container – re-pot if necessary in early spring.
