Growing Tips

  • Provide warm temperatures and bright light during germination.
  • Soak or gently scarify seeds before sowing if recommended for the specific seed lot.
  • Choose exceptionally well-drained soil because Bougainvillea does not perform well in waterlogged conditions.
  • Provide a sturdy trellis or support for climbing varieties.
  • Allow the soil to dry somewhat between established waterings.
  • Protect plants from frost and freezing temperatures.
  • Prune after flowering or during the appropriate growth period to maintain the desired shape.

Seed Storage

Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark location. Keep them sealed in their original packet or an airtight container away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Important Growing Note

Bougainvillea is primarily valued for its colorful bracts rather than fragrance. “White Bougainvillea” is also a descriptive common name, and flower characteristics can vary by species and cultivar. Confirm the botanical name and variety on the actual seed packet before making specific claims about fragrance, mature size, or flower form.

Unique Facts

  • The colorful parts commonly mistaken for Bougainvillea flowers are actually modified leaves called bracts.
  • The true flowers are small and located within the colorful bracts.
  • Bougainvillea is native to South America and is widely grown in warm climates.
  • Bougainvillea can tolerate dry conditions once established when planted in suitable, well-drained soil.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Start seeds indoors in late winter or spring when warm growing conditions can be maintained. In frost-free climates, sow outdoors during a warm growing period.

Sowing: Use a light, well-drained seed-starting medium. Sow seeds approximately ¼ inch deep and cover lightly.

Depth: Plant approximately ¼ inch deep.

Spacing: Space plants approximately 3–6 feet apart or according to the mature growth habit of the specific variety.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for vigorous growth and strong flowering.

Soil: Use loose, fertile, sharply well-drained soil. Avoid heavy soils that retain excess water.

Watering: Keep the growing medium lightly moist during germination. Once established, water thoroughly and allow the soil to partially dry before watering again.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately 2–4 weeks under favorable warm conditions, although Bougainvillea can germinate unevenly.

Thinning: Thin seedlings carefully after emergence to provide adequate space for healthy development.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced or flowering-plant fertilizer during active growth according to soil and plant needs. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage foliage over flowering.

Care: Provide a sturdy support structure for climbing types. Train young stems as they develop and prune as needed to maintain shape.

Flowering/Maturity: Bougainvillea flowers best under warm conditions with plenty of sunlight. Seed-grown plants may take several years to reach flowering maturity.

Container Growing: Use a container with excellent drainage and a well-drained potting mix. Container plants can be moved to protected locations when temperatures fall.

Overwintering: Protect Bougainvillea from frost. In cooler climates, grow in containers and move plants indoors or to a sheltered area before freezing temperatures.
