Extremely showy, Bougainvillea ‘Imperial Delight’ is a semi-dwarf, vigorous, evergreen shrub or vine with elegant clusters of white papery bracts suffused with pale pink, surrounding tiny white flowers. Emerging white, the bracts mature to a delicate translucent pink giving it a lovely bicolored look. Blooming periodically throughout the year in warm winter areas, and from summer to fall elsewhere, the colorful blossoms give way to small inconspicuous fruits, 1/2 in. long (1 cm).
The flowers are borne on stems clad with sharp spines and oval, pointed, medium to dark green leaves. A favorite of birds and hummingbirds!
Plant Care🪴
Sunlight
Bougainvilleas love the heat! They require at least six hours of full sunlight a day and can handle even the hottest of summers. If you want your plant to produce an abundance of flowers, make sure it’s sitting in direct sunlight. Oftentimes when bougainvilleas struggle to bloom, it’s because they aren’t receiving enough light, which will cause the plant to look thin and sparse.
Water
Potted bougainvilleas require regular watering. During the hot months, you can expect to water your plant at least once a week. If temperatures reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, consider watering your flowers twice a week to ensure they’re well hydrated. During the winter months, you’ll only need to water them every 3 or 4 days gap week
