{"product_id":"bougainvillea-pixie-pink","title":"Bougainvillea Pixie Pink","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fabulous dwarf variety, Bougainvillea Pixie Pink is perfectly suited to pots and large tubs, where its naturally shrubby growth habit forms a compact, eye-catching display. Smothered in vibrant bright pink bracts for most of the year in warm conditions, it delivers long-lasting colour in even the smallest garden spaces. Like other Bougainvilleas, its true flowers are small and white, subtly nestled within the papery bracts that provide the plant’s enduring and graceful show 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":53828264919224,"sku":"P10BOUPPN","price":26.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/bougainvillea-p10bouppn-pixie-pink.jpg?v=1785382262","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/bougainvillea-pixie-pink","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
