Immaculate, Colorful Bougainvillea Blooms in a Manageable Size
Bougainvillea is an unforgettable plant, known for its bold, brilliantly colored blooms. Trained into a tree form, the Thai Delight Bougainvillea offers that same show-stopping color in a refined, upright silhouette—perfect for adding structure and elegance to your landscape or patio. What truly sets Thai Delight apart is its beautiful blend of pastel hues, a rare feature among Bougainvilleas that are typically solid in color.
Soft rosy pinks, creamy whites, and gentle lavender tones blanket the canopy like a living Monet painting. Even better, this stunning tree delivers a host of standout benefits:
-
Year-round color: In warmer climates, this evergreen perennial provides vibrant color throughout the year.
-
Excellent for containers: Grows beautifully in large containers, making it ideal for patios, entryways, and poolside accents—and it can be moved indoors during colder weather.
-
Semi-dwarf size: While Bougainvilleas are known for vigorous growth, Thai Delight stays more compact, reaching about half the size of standard varieties for easier care and placement.
Thai Delight Bougainvillea thrives in warm, sunny conditions, but gardeners outside subtropical regions can enjoy it too. Simply grow it in a container and bring it indoors when temperatures approach 40°F. With plenty of sunlight, it may even hold onto its lovely color through winter.
Once you see Thai Delight in bloom, you’ll want to showcase it everywhere—and its tree form makes that easy. Use it as a striking focal point, line a walkway or driveway, or place it in a decorative container for instant curb appeal. Its soft pastel colors create stunning contrast against darker stone, brick, and hardscape elements.
Butterflies and hummingbirds are naturally drawn to its irresistible blooms. Elegant, eye-catching, and highly versatile, Thai Delight Bougainvillea Tree is a standout choice. Order yours today and enjoy beautiful color season after season.
Planting & Care
Planting:
Plant your Thai Delight Bougainvillea Tree in full sun for the best color and growth. Choose a well-draining location and dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the tree, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to help settle the roots.
Patio/Container Planting Instructions:
This Bougainvillea Tree grows beautifully in a large container, making it perfect for patios, entryways, and poolside areas. Use a high-quality potting mix with added organic matter, and select a container with drainage holes. Move 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, rainfall is often sufficient, especially in humid climates.
Fertilizing:
Apply a slow-release fertilizer at the start of the growing season, or use a water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during active growth.
Pest Control:
If pests appear, rinse them off with a steady stream of water.
Pruning:
Wear protective gloves when pruning. Trim as needed to maintain shape and control size, especially to preserve the tree form.
Cold Weather Care:
Protect your Bougainvillea Tree from temperatures below 40°F. Bring container-grown plants indoors and place them near a sunny window. In a warm sunroom or solarium, the tree may retain some leaves and color. If it drops leaves indoors during winter, don’t worry—new growth and color will return when moved back outdoors in spring. Continue watering as needed.
