Plant in a Box Bougainvillea 'Alexandra' -

The Bougainvillea is a beautiful, eye-catching climbing plant with colorful bracts. What could be more beautiful than placing the Bougainvillea against a brown wall to make the colors stand out even more? With its purple hue, it conveys a true summer feeling. Originally from Brazil, the Bougainvillea is also very well-known in Southern Europe, making it a true Mediterranean plant. To maintain its beautiful colors, the plant requires plenty of sunlight. The more sunlight it receives on its leaves, the more vibrant the colors will be.

Care
The Bougainvillea needs sunny weather to bloom beautifully. However, when the plant is in full sun, it requires sufficient water during the warm summer months, even daily during the hottest times. Always ensure that water can drain through holes in the bottom of the pot, as the plant does not like to have wet roots. This is not necessary when planted directly in the ground, but the downside is that it can be challenging to bring it indoors during winter. Wintering the Bougainvillea is essential to ensure it blooms again next year, as the plant is not frost-resistant.
