Bougainvillea 'Mauna Kea' is a spectacular variety of bougainvillea, popular for its vibrant white bracts. This vine, often used to add an impressive visual element to gardens or outdoor structures, offers abundant blooms that can brighten up any landscape with its cascades of pure white flowers.

Origin: Like all bougainvillea, 'Mauna Kea' is native to South America, but has been adapted to many warm climates around the world. It takes its name from the resemblance of its white bracts to the snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, evoking an image of purity and freshness.

Growth: Bougainvillea 'Mauna Kea' is a fast climber that can reach great heights if supported by a trellis or other vertical support. It can also be grown in pots, where it can be pruned and kept to a manageable size, or used to cover horizontal surfaces creating a cascading effect.

Flowers: The bracts of 'Mauna Kea' are bright white in color and are the main visual attractions of the plant. The true flowers are small, subtle and cream colored, often overshadowed by the splendor of the bracts.

Light: This variety requires lots of direct sunlight to flower profusely. It is ideal for sunny spots in the garden or landscape where it can receive at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Watering: 'Mauna Kea' is drought tolerant once established, but benefits from regular watering during periods of active growth. However, it is crucial to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot problems.

Substrate: Well-drained soil is essential for the health of Bougainvillea 'Mauna Kea'. For container plants, use a houseplant mix or add amendments like perlite to improve drainage.

Toxicity: 'Mauna Kea' is not toxic to humans or pets, but its thorns can be a source of injury. Gloves and protective clothing are recommended when handling or pruning.

Bougainvillea 'Mauna Kea' is an exceptional choice for those who wish to introduce an element of great visual impact into their garden. Its ability to produce long periods of spectacular flowering makes it a favorite among gardeners looking to create an attractive and vibrant focal point.
