Flowering Bougainvillea Bonsai Tree | Beautiful Colour and Lasting Beauty
Bring a touch of Mediterranean colour into your home with this individually photographed Bougainvillea Bonsai Tree. Renowned for its spectacular pink and pastel pink bracts, this beautiful bonsai provides months of colour and interest. Although many people mistake the bracts for flowers, the true blooms are the tiny creamy-white flowers hidden at their centre.
Its graceful informal upright trunk adds movement, strength and natural character. Meanwhile, the glossy green foliage creates the perfect backdrop for the colourful display. As a result, this bonsai becomes an eye-catching feature throughout the growing season.
The tree is presented in a stunning glazed blue ceramic bonsai pot with a matching ceramic drip tray. Consequently, it arrives ready to enjoy in any bright room, conservatory or patio.
Enjoy Months of Spectacular Colour
Bougainvillea is one of the longest-flowering bonsai species available. Given the right conditions, it produces repeated flushes of colourful bracts from spring until late autumn.
Furthermore, the vivid pink tones contrast beautifully with the rich green foliage. This creates a striking tropical display that very few bonsai species can match. As new growth appears, fresh bracts continue to develop. Therefore, your bonsai remains colourful for many months.
A Rewarding Bonsai to Shape
Bougainvillea naturally develops attractive movement and responds exceptionally well to pruning. Its flexible branches make it enjoyable to style. At the same time, regular pruning encourages a fuller, more refined canopy.
As the tree matures, it develops even more character. Consequently, each year brings greater beauty and refinement.
A Fascinating Species
Named after the French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville, this remarkable species originates from South America. Today, it is one of the world’s most recognisable ornamental plants.
In its native habitat, Bougainvillea grows into spectacular flowering vines that cover walls and buildings with vibrant colour. As a bonsai, however, it captures the same beauty in a perfectly scaled miniature tree.
Moreover, Bougainvillea symbolises passion, welcome, peace and lasting beauty in many cultures. For that reason, it makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for many occasions.
Growing Your Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea thrives in warmth and sunshine. Place your bonsai in a bright conservatory, greenhouse or sunny south-facing windowsill. Alternatively, you can enjoy it outdoors during the warmer months in a sheltered, sunny position.
However, this is a tender species. Therefore, it must always be protected from frost and prolonged cold temperatures.
With plenty of sunlight, regular watering and weekly feeding during the growing season, your Bougainvillea will reward you with healthy growth and abundant colourful bracts.
