Description

Bougainvillea 'Jamaica White' is an evergreen shrubby vine. It produces white bracts, veined in light green and is moderately vigorous. When the basic structure is establishing, it's important to tie stems to a fense or wall, since they have no means of attachment while young. It produces vibrant colored, papery, petal-like big bracts. Bougainvillea is a fast, vigorous grower, reaching 15'-30' height. Sensitive to frost.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
