Bougainvillea Jamaican Orange

Bougainvillea Jamaican Orange is a tall growing climber with dark green leaves, with a central splash of gold. The deep orange bracts which deepen to magenta appear throughout the year. They will survive on low water levels and are relatively disease-free. 

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 well drained soils and a sunny position. The range of colours offers 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.
