‘Double Red’ is a vigorous climber, perfect for training on trellises, fences, or pergolas to create living walls of color. It can also be grown in containers, making it an excellent choice for patios, balconies, or small-space gardens. Wherever it’s planted, the brilliant scarlet bracts bloom abundantly, painting your space in dramatic tropical hues.

In warm climates (USDA Zones 9–11), Bougainvillea thrives as a perennial, producing nearly year-round color. In cooler zones, it can be grown in pots and brought indoors during the winter. Mature plants can reach 6–10 feet in the ground or 4–6 feet in containers, depending on how they’re trained.

Growing and caring for ‘Double Red’ is surprisingly simple. Plant in full sun for the best flowering and use well-draining soil to keep the roots healthy. Water sparingly—bougainvillea actually blooms better when kept slightly on the dry side. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and requires minimal attention. A light pruning after each bloom cycle will encourage even more vibrant growth.

Your order includes two live starter plants (4–6 inches tall), shipped bare root in eco-friendly packaging. Each plant is hand-inspected before shipping to ensure it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Please note: photos show mature plants to inspire you, while your starter plants will grow quickly into their full tropical glory.
