I LOVE the color on this plant, it's one of my favorites..well, yes I do have a LOT of favorites, but I always stop to admire this one every time I go outside
Orange Ice Bouganvilla
WOW! Pretty! Variegated yet! I have only had the rose colored one, best friend brought it all the way up from Florida, in a hanging basket, full of blooms. I finally let it die, as it needed more warm sunshine than I could give it, it would not bloom for me.
This is a co-op baby, it's been happy outside all summer, but will come in and be a house plant for the winter. I have another that I'm attempting to train as a standard, wish me luck!!! I love bougies!
I love bougies, too. The orange Ice is very pretty. What is the best way to overwinter them in the north? I have been cutting them back year round, after blooming to keep them 'pot size'. But they have bloomed and rebloomed for several years now. Do they need to be allowed to go dormant?
