How to grow Mixed Bougainvillea seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors in spring for the longest first season.
• Outdoors: Plant out after all danger of frost, in warm weather.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow about 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining mix.
• Handle seedlings gently; bougainvillea roots are delicate and easily damaged.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light.
• Temperature: Keep warm, around 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Germination

• Germination typically takes 20-30 days; be patient.
• Keep the mix lightly moist but never soggy.

Transplanting

• Move to larger pots as seedlings grow; plant out in full sun with sturdy support.
• Set the plant at the same depth it was growing; do not loosen or disturb the root ball.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the best flowering; deep shade prevents blooming.
• Water: Water regularly while establishing, then allow the soil to dry between waterings; established plants tolerate dry spells. Never leave in standing water.
• Fertilizer: Feed twice a year with a flowering-shrub fertilizer; bougainvillea are heavy feeders.
• Prune after flowering to keep vigorous varieties under control; wear gloves, as the plant is thorny.

Bloom Time:

Summer into autumn; heaviest bloom comes in full sun with drier conditions.
