| Botanical Name | Bougainvillea 'Sundown' |
| Description | The 'Sundown' Bougainvillea in a hanging basket is a high-impact tropical accent for the Houston metro area. Known for its color-changing bracts that transition from apricot to pink, it thrives in our signature heat. While the plants in these baskets are drought-tolerant, their limited root space in a 10-inch container means they require more frequent attention than those in the ground. Avoid using heavy garden clay in baskets; they perform best in light, porous professional potting mixes that ensure oxygen reaches the roots and prevents water-logging. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for vibrant color and continuous blooming) |
| Height x Width | Trails 2-3 ft. in baskets |
| Water | Medium; water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not keep the basket constantly saturated. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Bring indoors or into a garage during Houston freezes) |
| Fertilization | Apply a water-soluble "Bougainvillea food" or bloom booster every 2-3 weeks during spring and summer. |
| Pruning | Trim back long "water sprouts" or spent trails to maintain a full, mounded shape and encourage new blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
