Bougainvillea Inca Gold

Bougainvillea Inca Gold is marketed by the Colourstream™ group. It is adorned with masses of brilliant golden-yellow coloured bracts throughout the year. The bracts take on an apricot hue during the cooler months. It is a medium grower with gracefully arching branches. Inca Gold is a sport of Barbara Karst. 

Bougainvillea are long flowering and can be adapted for a wide variety of landscaping uses. Some of these uses include topiary, hedging, hanging baskets, arbours and arches. Today’s Bougainvillea have a great range in growth habit and height. There are dwarf varieties that grow to only a metre, compact medium growers and some such as White Cascade that offer a beautiful cascading habit. Bougainvillea prefer a well drained soil and sunny position. The range of colours offer limitless combinations and a palette to choose from that would satisfy any landscape design.

• Please note: At this small size, Bougainvillea have delicate roots and should be handled with care.
