Product Description

Fire Opal bougainvillea is a captivating variety known for its striking color and vigorous growth. Here are some key details about this beautiful plant:

Key Features:

  1. Bracts and Flowers: Fire Opal bougainvillea is noted for its vibrant, fiery orange to red bracts. The actual flowers are small and white, surrounded by these colorful bracts.
  2. Growth Habit: This variety is a fast and vigorous grower, capable of reaching heights of 15 to 30 feet when supported. It can also be pruned to maintain a smaller, more manageable size.
  3. Foliage: The leaves are typically dark green, which provides a stunning contrast to the bright bracts.
  4. Thorns: Like other bougainvillea varieties, Fire Opal has thorns, so it should be handled with care.

Growing Conditions:

  1. Climate: Fire Opal bougainvillea thrives in warm, sunny climates and is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It can tolerate short periods of frost but prefers consistently warm temperatures.
  2. Sunlight: Full sun is essential for the best blooming. The plant requires at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
  3. Soil: Well-drained soil is crucial. Bougainvillea does not like to have "wet feet" and can suffer from root rot if the soil retains too much moisture.
  4. Watering: Once established, Fire Opal bougainvillea is quite drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Care Tips:

  1. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and size of the plant. Pruning after the blooming cycle can encourage more vigorous growth and flowering.
  2. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth and blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of bracts.
  3. Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or other support structures to help the plant climb and spread. This is particularly important for its taller growth.
  4. Pests and Diseases: Bougainvillea is relatively pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from aphids, caterpillars, and spider mites. Regular inspection and treatment with insecticidal soap or neem oil can help manage these issues.

General Characteristics:

  • Maintenance: Fire Opal bougainvillea is generally low-maintenance once established, requiring minimal watering and care.
  • Landscape Use: Ideal for adding vibrant color to gardens, landscapes, and container plantings. It can be used as a climbing vine, shrub, or even a ground cover if pruned properly.
  • Propagation: Bougainvillea can be propagated from cuttings, typically taken during the growing season.

Benefits:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: The fiery orange to red bracts make Fire Opal bougainvillea a standout in any garden, providing a brilliant splash of color.
  • Versatility: This plant can be used in a variety of ways, including as a climbing vine, a pruned shrub, or a cascading container plant.
  • Drought Tolerance: Once established, it requires minimal watering, making it an excellent choice for water-conscious gardeners.

Fire Opal bougainvillea is a stunning and versatile addition to any garden, offering a vibrant display of color that can enhance any landscape. With proper care, it can thrive and provide long-lasting beauty.
