This plant also loves the heat. Not enough sun = not enough color.

Bougainvillea doesn't like to go below 30 Degree Farenheit.

Older, established bougainvilleas can withstand a freeze much better.

It prefers a good, deep watering rather than frequent shallow waterings.

The taller growing bougainvilleas need strong support and require training.

They can be trained on a trellis, over an arbor, on a fence or across a structure.
