Bougainvillea Barbara Karst One Gallon Vine
Barbara Karst bougainvilleas will treat you to rosy red flowers all summer long, doing best if planted in full, hot sun. If far enough from the water, very effective around swimming pools or on hot sunny decks. Plant your bougainvillea as a vine and watch it grow to about 12-15' tall and wide. In mild winter areas, protect this amazing flowering vine over the winter for repeat enjoyment. For gardeners in severe winter areas, treat your bougainvillea as an annual, or keep it in a container and move it to a warm enclosed patio or greenhouse over the winter. Hardy to USDA zone 10 and all higher zones. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden.

Yes. When planting a bougainvillea, do everything you can to maintain the integrity of the root ball, as if it becomes broken apart or too loose, this can cause serious stress to the plant. After the hole is prepared, cut the plastic can apart with a pair of pruning shears and peel back like a banana, and then place one hand above and one hand below and gently lift out of the container, setting carefully in the hole such that the top of the rootball is exactly even with the new soil level you are creating in container or ground. Back fill with amended soil and firm with the palm of your hand. Water well to further settle the soil. If some sections of the planting area sinks after irrigation, add another handful or two of soil as needed. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Full hot sun and soil with at least average drainage. If need be, plant in a container for better soil and sun exposure.
