Plant near a support structure like a trellis or fence, and tie young stems to encourage upward growth; space multiple plants 18–20 inches apart if creating a hedge. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency once the plant matures—stick your finger 2 inches into the soil to check moisture before watering. Prune in late fall or early winter to maintain shape and encourage branching; remove dead wood as needed. This forgiving plant actually produces better color with slight water stress, making it ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance tropical appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":45814315614394,"sku":"14068","price":374.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/alexandra-bougainvillea.jpg?v=1777510004","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/alexandra-bougainvillea","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
