Bougainvillea Magnifica Trailii – 85mm

Bougainvillea Magnifica Trailii is also known as Magnifica. It is one of the old original Bougainvillea and is loved as a strong, hardy grower. The brilliant deep purple bracts against dark green glossy leaves, make a for a fantastic sight when in full bloom.

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 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.
