Bougainvillea ‘Key West White’

Description

Bougainvillea ‘Key West White’ is a vigorous tropical vine with clean white bracts that brighten sunny walls, fences, and patio spaces. It can grow as a climber in warm climates or be maintained as a smaller container specimen with regular pruning.

Light and Flowering

Grow in full sun for the strongest flowering and brightest bract color. Too much shade usually leads to more leaves and fewer blooms.

Soil and Water

Use fast-draining soil or potting mix and avoid prolonged saturation. Water regularly during establishment, then let the upper root zone dry somewhat between thorough waterings.

Color Pairings

The white bracts pair naturally with the warm orange color of ‘Sundown Orange’ and the vivid purple of ‘Elizabeth Angus’.

Containers and Garden Design

Use a large container with generous drainage and give the plant room to climb or cascade. Our small garden design guide offers additional ideas for using bold container plants as focal points.

Cold Weather Care

Protect from frost. In colder climates, keep ‘Key West White’ in a movable container and overwinter it in a bright protected location with reduced watering while growth slows.
