3 Tips on How to Grow Sundown Orange Bougainvillea (Paperflower)
The Sundown Orange Bougainvillea is a tropical plant known for its vibrant colors and impressive size. If grown in Zones 9-11, where it can be overwintered, this Bougainvillea can reach a mature height and width of 10-20 feet but is a true showstopper wherever it’s grown. Bougainvillea are commonly known as Paperflower plants, and from spring through fall, Sundown Orange attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its bright orange flowers that fade to a deep salmon, while deer and rabbits typically keep their distance. Sundown Orange is a great companion plant with varieties like Coreopsis, Black-eyed Susan, Salvia, Heuchera, and Veronica. If you’re training it to climb, remember that it needs a little help. Attach the vines to a trellis or other support, as it won't climb independently.
Here are three simple tips for growing a gorgeous Sundown Orange Bougainvillea:
Tip 1: Plant your Bougainvillea in an area that receives six or more hours of direct sunlight daily. They love being in the sun.
Tip 2: Fertilize your Sundown Orange with a well-balanced fertilizer once a month to keep it growing healthy and strong.
Tip 3: While this Paperflower can tolerate a bit of moisture from time to time, it prefers drier growing conditions overall.
We hope these tips help your Sundown Orange Bougainvillea bring a burst of tropical color to your garden.
