Bougainvillea Little Guy

Bougainvillea Little Guy is a true dwarf Bougainvillea. It reaches a maximum height of one metre. It is an ideal plant for hedging or container culture. New growth is bronze to red in colour and bracts are a magenta purple. Other true dwarf Bougainvillea include Temple Fire, Solar Flare PBR and Tom Thumb.  A self-branching bushy type, it is the perfect Bougainvillea for hedging. 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. Bougainvillea prefer a well drained soil and 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.
