We are excited to announce that we will be featuring a weekly blog on interesting plant facts. Every week we will blog about a specific plant that Mitch uses regularly in his designs. The plants are chosen for aesthetic reasons as well as them being able to thrive well in the Southern California climate. Stay tuned to learn more about the beautiful plants that are used in Solena Landscapes projects…
Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is bright and ornamental flowering plant with thorny vines that is very suited to growing in Californian climate. They tend to grow best in bright sun and once established require very little water to thrive. If overwatered the plant will not flower and may even die from root decay.
Bougainvillea, being a climbing vine, is ideal for use on walls and along fence lines as well as a hedge. The plant may also be tamed and pruned for use in standard form in containers and hanging baskets.
Fun Fact: Various species of Bougainvillea are the official flowers of Californian cities Laguna Niguel and San Clemente.
