Purple Bougainvillea 'Alexandra'
- With its attractive purple bracts surrounding white tubular blooms, 'Alexandra' is a bougainvillea of real distinction. It's semi-evergreen, too, retaining its foliage year-round in milder climes.
- Growing to just three metres or so, this is a relatively compact climber that boasts an attractive bushy, shrubby habit. Train it up an obelisk or archway on a sunny patio.
- 'Alexandra' is a particularly free-flowering plant, sporting its blooms in abundance throughout the summer months. The flowers contrast nicely with the plant's lovely oval foliage.
- Low-maintenance and straightforward to grow, the only major care requirement is moving bougainvilleas inside over winter, as they're tropical plants that won't survive wintering outdoors.
- Did you know? This plant genus was named after Frenchman, Louis Antoine de Bougainville, who recorded the plant's 'discovery' in Brazil, in the 18th century.
