What You Will Receive: You will receive a pack of 2 healthy Bougainvillea 'Pixie Pink' starter plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted plugs are shipped ready to transplant, offering an affordable way to add intense tropical color to small spaces like balconies and patios.
A True "Pixie" Size: Finally, a Bougainvillea that fits anywhere! 'Pixie Pink' is a sought-after dwarf variety that naturally maintains a tidy, bushy form (reaching only 2-3 feet tall). It features clusters of vibrant, neon-pink bracts that cover the plant so densely they often hide the green foliage underneath.
Perfect for Containers: Maximize your deck or porch space. Because it is a ground-hugging shrub rather than an unruly vine, it is the ultimate container specimen. It stays compact in pots without constant pruning, making it ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, or as a colorful centerpiece on a small table.
Tough & Drought Resistant: Enjoy a lush look with minimal maintenance. This plant is a sun-worshipper that is highly drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and deer-resistant. It flourishes in the hottest summer sun when other flowers fade, requiring very little water once established—perfect for water-wise gardening.
Pollinator Magnet: Bring life to your landscape. The small white flowers hidden inside the bright pink bracts are a rich nectar source, acting as a magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Create a buzzing, vibrant ecosystem right on your doorstep.
Guarantee & Secure Shipping: Unpack immediately. Shipped bare-root/semi-bare root with moisture protection to ensure eco-friendly, safe transit. Bougainvillea is sensitive to travel and may drop leaves or flowers due to stress; this is normal. The woody stems are hardy and will push new growth quickly in the sun. We guarantee healthy arrival; please contact us with photos within 24 hours if issues arise.
