Flame Bougainvillea earns its name from its fiery orange-red bracts that burst like flames in bright sunlight. This hardy ornamental climber is perfect for sunny fences, pergolas, and open gardens. Long blooming and drought-tolerant, it’s one of the easiest Bougainvilleas to maintain.
To keep it thriving: Temperature - 20°C to 35°C. Light - Full sun 6 to 8 hours daily. Water - Moderate; avoid standing water. Soil - Loamy, well-drained soil with compost. Feed - Apply phosphorus-rich bloom fertilizer every 45 days. Prune - Light pruning post-bloom to promote new shoots. Pests - Neem oil or mild insecticide for mealybugs.
