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:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
