Bougainvillea Bambino Zuki

A new generation Bougainvillea bred for its compact habit and minimal thorns. The little white flowers are surrounded by vivid claret flower bracts throughout the summer and complement the variegated foliage. Plant in a sunny well drained position with protection from harsh frost. Evergreen.

Bougainvilleas love a warm sheltered position. They don't like root disturbance or too much fertilizer or water. If required you can prune back growth quite hard after flowering. Something different for vibrant summer pots and baskets.

Habit: Compact
Height: 1.5m x 1.5m
