The bougainvillea is a climbing plant that originated in South America and has found its way to our regions via the Mediterranean. The bougainvillea belongs to the magical flower family (Nyctaginaceae) and stands out for the vibrant color of the bracts: these usually shine in beautiful purple hues, but there are also some yellow or orange varieties. The flower itself is yellow or white and is very very small.The flowers are usually grouped in threes and are surrounded by three bracts.Bougainvillea is the Mediterranean atmosphere maker for your garden, terrace or balcony. Bougainvilleas are not hardy in our climate and it is best to keep them as a container plant. It is in fact the brightly colored bracts that surround the inconspicuous flower that stand out the most. A bougainvillea needs a lot of water, otherwise the plant will drop its leaves quickly. So on hot summer days you may need to water twice a day, ideally early in the morning or in the late afternoon when the sun is less powerful. The soil should be constantly moderately moist. To avoid waterlogging, you should regularly check the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot.
