Bougainvillea

Put on a spectacular show of colour and beauty in your garden with the bougainvillea Mrs Butt! This show-stopper is an evergreen climber that produces masses of medium-sized, crimson flower bracts.

It is the ideal climbing plant for pergolas, fences, garages, or any unsightly objects in your yard.

Bougainvillea Bambino Zuki is a unique and compact bougainvillea variety that captivates with its claret-red flowers, highlighted beautifully against variegated foliage. New leaves emerge with hints of pink and green, maturing to a striking white and green contrast, making this plant a year-round spectacle. Released in spring 1997, Bambino Zuki is a tidy grower that blooms for several months, even in shaded conditions, making it ideal for adding vibrant charm to courtyards, patios, and smaller garden spaces. It’s equally suited for a range of decorative uses, from formal standards to hanging baskets.

Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with organic matter such as compost to enhance growth and structure. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and reduces weeds.
Conditions: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring less direct sunlight than most bougainvillea varieties for good flowering. Though drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during dry spells is beneficial. Sensitive to frost, so protect in colder climates.
Size: 0.6–0.9m H
