Bougainvillea 'Silhouette'
Bougainvillea 'Silhouette' is an exquisite variety of bougainvillea, prized for its spectacular flowering and graceful growth. This plant features bright, delicate pink bracts, which contrast nicely with its dark green leaves, providing a striking visual spectacle that can beautify any garden or outdoor structure.
Origin: Like all varieties of bougainvillea, 'Silhouette' is native to South America. It was specially selected for its distinctive ornamental characteristics, including its abundant and colorful bracts.
Growth: Bougainvillea 'Silhouette' is a vigorous climbing plant that can reach a large size if supported by a trellis, pergola or wall. It can also be grown in pots or containers, where its growth can be more controlled by size and support.
Flowers: The true flowers of 'Silhouette' are small and white, usually overshadowed by the large, pale pink bracts that mainly attract attention. The bracts are the main source of decoration of the plant, creating a massive and colorful floral effect.
Light: This variety requires full exposure to sunlight for optimal flowering. Sufficient sunlight is crucial to stimulate bract production and maintain color vibrancy.
Watering: 'Silhouette' is fairly drought tolerant once established, but it benefits from regular watering during periods of active growth. It is important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Substrate: Well-drained soil is essential for Bougainvillea 'Silhouette'. If grown in a pot, make sure the container has good drainage and use a houseplant mix or add coarse sand and perlite to regular potting soil to improve drainage.
Toxicity: 'Silhouette' is not known to be toxic to humans or pets, but its thorns can create a risk of injury. It is recommended to wear gloves and protective clothing when handling or pruning the plant.
Bougainvillea 'Silhouette' is a great option for gardeners looking for a spectacular plant that can transform an ordinary wall, fence or pergola into an explosion of color. Its sturdiness and visual impact make it a favorite for landscape projects in warm, sunny climates.
