Bougainvillea Red Holly – 85mm

Bougainvillea Red Holly is promoted by the Colourstream™ Group. She is so named for her leaf that resembles the traditional Holly and is dark green and wonderfully glossy. Red Holly is a medium grower with brilliant crimson bracts, an upright growth habit and responds well to pruning. She will survive on low water levels and is 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: my upright habit and glossy leaves are ideal for beautifying unsightly walls, topiary displays or hanging baskets

• I grow to: 2.0-3.0m high

• I am currently: 10-15cm high

• Where to place me: Full sun

• How far to space me: 1.5m

• My features: drought resistant once established, deliciously crimson bracts

• 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.
