{"product_id":"bougainvillea-easter-parade","title":"Bougainvillea Easter Parade","description":"\u003cp\u003eCreating a stunning pastel vision, Bougainvillea Easter Parade features delicately coloured bracts in soft lavender to silvery pink tones, bringing a gentle yet luminous touch to the garden. Like other Bougainvilleas, its true flowers are small and white, subtly nestled within the papery bracts that provide the plant’s long-lasting and graceful display of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBougainvillea are tough, hardy scrambling shrubs that absolutely thrive in full sun. These spectacular climbers perform best in frost-free locations where they remain evergreen and can flower almost year-round. In cooler climates they may become deciduous, with their flowering season generally limited to summer. Versatile and eye-catching, they are ideal for growing in pots or for training to ramble over an arch or gazebo. When left unsupported, Bougainvillea will spread to form a dense groundcover, but with the right support they will climb vigorously and create a stunning vertical display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBougainvillea prefer well-drained soil and will not tolerate waterlogged conditions. A sandy or loamy soil enriched with a small amount of organic matter is ideal, and in heavier soils it’s beneficial to improve drainage with coarse sand or gravel before planting. When growing in pots, use a high-quality free-draining potting mix and ensure containers have excellent drainage holes to prevent root rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese plants actually prefer a little neglect and may reduce flowering if overwatered or overfed, so take care not to overwater during summer and fertilise sparingly. An autumn tidy-up will help keep plants in shape, though it’s wise to wear gloves as the shoots can be quite thorny, particularly the non-flowering water shoots, which are best pruned out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828262133944,"sku":"P10BOUEPR","price":26.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/bougainvillea-p10bouepr-easter-parade.jpg?v=1785382258","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/bougainvillea-easter-parade","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
