Bougainvillea 'Sunstone Red'
Bougainvillea 'Sunstone Red' is a beautiful and vibrant variety of bougainvillea, famous for its deep red bracts that capture the eye and transform any space into a spectacular burst of color. This climbing plant is ideal for trellises, pergolas, and walls, where it can fully display its floral splendor.
Origin: Native to South America, like all bougainvillea, 'Sunstone Red' was developed for its intense color and hardiness, making it popular in gardens and landscapes across the world, particularly in warm, sunny climates.
Growth: Bougainvillea 'Sunstone Red' is a vigorous climbing plant that can quickly cover large areas if properly supported. It can also be grown in containers with adequate support to control its size and shape.
Flowers: The true flowers of 'Sunstone Red' are small and white in color, but they are usually overshadowed by the shiny red bracts which are the real focal points. These bracts are large and abundant, creating a dramatic effect when in full bloom.
Light: This variety of bougainvillea thrives in full sun. Direct and prolonged exposure is essential to stimulate abundant flowering and to maintain the intensity of the color of the bracts.
Watering: 'Sunstone Red' is relatively drought tolerant once established, but it benefits from regular watering during periods of active growth, especially if grown in a container. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Substrate: Well-drained soil is crucial to the health of Bougainvillea 'Sunstone Red'. For potted plants, a houseplant potting mix enriched with perlite is ideal to ensure good drainage.
Toxicity: Bougainvillea 'Sunstone Red' is not toxic to humans or pets, but its thorns can cause injury. Care should be taken when handling or pruning to avoid scratches.
Bougainvillea 'Sunstone Red' is a fantastic option for those looking to add powerful visual impact to their garden. Its rapid growth and ability to produce a profusion of color make it a popular choice for outdoor structures and gardens where a show of color is desired.
