Immaculate, Vibrant Bougainvillea Blooms in a Manageable Size
Bougainvillea is a showstopper in any landscape. Known for its bold, climbing blooms that spill and cascade with color, it instantly elevates outdoor spaces. Thai Delight Bougainvillea stands apart with its soft mix of pastel shades, a refreshing change from the solid tones found on most Bougainvillea varieties.
Gentle rosy pinks, creamy whites, and hints of lavender blanket the bracts like a living work of art. Even better, this vine offers several standout advantages:
-
Year-round color: In warmer climates, this evergreen perennial delivers vibrant color throughout the year.
-
Ideal for containers: Grows beautifully in hanging baskets or containers and can be brought indoors during colder weather.
-
Semi-dwarf size: While traditional Bougainvilleas can grow quite large, Thai Delight stays more compact—about half the size—making it easier to manage.
Thai Delight Bougainvillea thrives in warm conditions, but it’s also easy to enjoy in cooler regions. Simply plant it in a container and bring it indoors when temperatures near 40°F. With plenty of sunlight, it may even maintain its lovely color through winter.
Butterflies and hummingbirds are naturally drawn to its irresistible color. Elegant, eye-catching, and easy to showcase, Thai Delight Bougainvillea is a standout addition to any garden. Order yours today and enjoy beautiful color season after season.
Planting & Care
Planting:
Plant your Thai Delight Bougainvillea Shrub in full sun for the best growth and color. Choose a well-draining location and dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Set the shrub in place, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to help establish the roots.
Patio/Container Planting Instructions:
Thai Delight Bougainvillea grows well in large containers, making it a great option for patios and outdoor living spaces. Use a high-quality potting mix with added organic matter and ensure the container has proper drainage. Move the plant indoors to a bright, sunny location when temperatures drop below 40°F.
Watering:
Water deeply after planting. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, then water deeply again. Once established, natural rainfall is often sufficient, especially in humid climates.
Fertilizing:
Apply a slow-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season, or use a water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during active growth.
Pest Control:
If pests appear, remove them with a steady stream of water.
Pruning:
Wear protective gloves when pruning. Trim as needed to maintain shape, encourage branching, and control size.
Cold Weather Care:
Do not expose the plant to temperatures below 40°F. Bring container-grown shrubs indoors and place them near a sunny window. In a warm sunroom or solarium, the plant may retain some foliage and color. If it drops leaves indoors during winter, don’t worry—new growth and blooms will return when placed back outdoors in spring. Continue watering as needed.
