Pink Bougainvillea Live Plant - 2 (Two) Live Helen Johnson Bougainvillea Starter Plants - Dwarf Bushy Shrub - Drought Tolerant

What You Will Receive: You will receive a pack of 2 healthy Bougainvillea 'Helen Johnson' starter plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted plugs are shipped ready to transplant, offering an affordable way to add vibrant, tropical color to your home or garden without the unmanageable size of standard vines.

A "Tame" Tropical Beauty: Finally, a Bougainvillea that stays small! 'Helen Johnson' is a rare true dwarf variety that naturally maintains a bushy, compact form (reaching only 2-3 feet tall). It features intense hot pink bracts that emerge with a coppery hue, providing a stunning, multi-tonal display that won't take over your entire yard.

Perfect for Pots & Small Spaces: Maximize your limited space. Because it is a ground-hugging shrub rather than a monster vine, it is the ultimate container plant for balconies, patios, and pool decks. It also excels as a colorful low hedge or groundcover in sunny garden beds, adding a splash of pink right at eye level.

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 scorching summer sun when other plants fade, requiring very little water once established—perfect for busy lifestyles.

Pollinator Friendly: Bring life to your landscape. The tiny 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.
