| Botanical Name | Bougainvillea 'Thai Delight' |
| Description | 'Thai Delight' is highly prized in the Houston metro area for its stunning bicolor display, with bracts that transition from creamy white to deep pink. This 5-gallon specimen comes pre-trained on a trellis for immediate vertical impact. While it loves our signature heat and humidity, it is exceptionally sensitive to overwatering and poor drainage. In local gardens with heavy clay, it is best kept in large patio containers or highly amended raised beds to prevent "wet feet" and root rot during rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for vibrant bicolor bracts and heavy flowering) |
| Height x Width | 6-10 ft. (Trellised) x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Medium; allow the soil to dry significantly between waterings to stimulate bloom production. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Must be moved to a protected area or indoors during Houston freezes) |
| Fertilization | Use a specialized high-potassium Bougainvillea fertilizer monthly during the growing season. |
| Pruning | Prune after bloom cycles to maintain the trellis shape and encourage new flowering wood. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
