Bougainvillea 'Dania' on Rack - Orange flowers - ø17cm - Height 50-60cm

The Bougainvillea is a beautiful, showy climber with colourful papery bracts. What could be more beautiful than placing the Bougainvillea in front of a light wall so the colours pop out even more? With its vibrant orange red colour, it is a plant that delivers the real summer feeling. Originally, the Bougainvillea comes from Brazil. However, it is very common in southern Europe, making it a true Mediterranean plant. To maintain the beautiful colours, the plant needs a lot of sunlight. The more sunlight it receives on its leaves, the brighter the colours will become.

Care
The bougainvillea needs sunny weather to flower beautifully. However, if the plant is in full sun, it needs plenty of water, daily during the hottest part of the summer months. Always make sure that the water can drain through holes in the bottom of the pot, because the plant does not like wet feet. In full soil this is of course not necessary, but the disadvantage of full soil is that it is difficult to bring the plant indoors in winter. Overwintering the bougainvillea is necessary so that it will flower again next year, as the plant is not hardy.

Size
The plant has a height of 50-60cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
