Bougainvilleas
I have been looking at planting some bougainvilleas as climbing plants.
As there are so many different species, I was wondering if someone could help me with my queries. So far I have seen the following bougainvilleas at the nurseries:- Bougainvillea Magnifica Traillii (this is my favourite with the lovely deep purple colour) Bougainvillea Little Guy Bougainvillea Temple Fire Bougainvillea Tango Supreme Bougainvillea Magenta Glory Of them all, I like the Magnifica Traillii best of all. But I don't believe this was the one that I am looking for. I first saw this particular bougainvillea growing over someone's back boundary fence and overflowing with masses with lovely purple bracts but the bracts and the leaves of this bougainvilleas were small and tiny compared to the bougainvilleas that I have seen so far. But this bougainvillea was definitely hanging over a standard height fence (at least 2 meter ?) - so any idea what species this particular bougainvillea could be? If I wish to grow the bougainvillea against the side boundary (wood) fence of which the other side is the wall of my neighbour's garage. How many plants will I need (given it is a standard size garage)? Will I need to erect wire or wooden trellis to help it climb? How harmful is this plant to the a wood boundary fence (I have seen my other wood boundary fence disintegrated from the veracious ivies)? I have been told, that the bougainvillea magnifica trailli is the best one suited to Melbourne's climate. Your help is much appreciated. |
