Bougainvillea Orange Glory is marketed and promoted by Colourstream™ Growers Group. It is a medium grower but can be kept smaller if pruned regularly. It has a slightly cascading habit and flowers almost constantly throughout the year. It’s superb bracts fade from a brilliant burnt orange to a dusky pink. Orange Glory is a sport of Scarlet Glory offering the same growth habit and profuse flowering. 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. 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.

If you prefer your plants just that little bit bigger the 3 pack x 85mm pots is for you.

Quick Facts: 

• What to use me for: a medium grower ideal for hanging baskets, sloping areas to create a colourful display, can be kept as a compact shrub if pruned regularly 

• I grow to: 2.0-3.0 high

• I am currently: 10-15cm high

• My features: drought resistant once established, bracts emerge a brilliant burnt orange transforming to a dusky pink

• Please note: At this small size, Bougainvillea have delicate roots and should be handled with care. Don’t tease or disturb roots but rather water the pot well, gently invert and tap pot on the side of a hard surface so it slides out. Our recommendation is to plant our beautifully-grown Bougainvillea into a larger pot rather than directly into the ground
