Description
Bougainvillea is known for its colorful flower bracts, but its thorny stems make it an excellent species to consider for making a fence line more secure. It is a Mediterranean plant that requires full sun, loves hot weather and needs only modest amounts of fertilizer and irrigation. Bougainvillea needs excellent drainage, so many people choose to grow it in a pot, which also gives the option of bringing it indoors for the winter, as it is a frost-sensitive species. Plant one every eight feet along a fence for complete coverage - they will grow as tall as the support structure they are given up to a height of about 15 feet. These are very hardy and grow well as sun barriers here in Port Orange Florida.
