| Botanical Name | Bougainvillea 'Juanita Hatten' |
| Description | 'Juanita Hatten' stands out with its prolific hot pink bracts and subtle green-on-green variegated leaves. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant, making it perfect for the Houston humidity. While it can tolerate a variety of soil types, it is highly sensitive to "wet feet." In areas with heavy clay, it is best grown in containers or raised beds to ensure the sharp drainage required for health and heavy blooming. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (8+ hours for best color) |
| Height x Width | 15-25 ft. Tall x 6-10 ft. Wide (on trellis) |
| Water | Low; allow soil to dry significantly between deep waterings. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Protect from Houston's hard freezes) |
| Fertilization | Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a high-phosphorus fertilizer. |
| Pruning | Prune after each bloom cycle to encourage new wood and more flowers. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate to High |
