Bougainvillea ‘Barbara Karst’ is a vibrant and fast-growing vine known for its abundant, showy bracts in a rich magenta-red color. These colorful bracts surround small white flowers, creating a stunning visual display that blooms year-round in warm climates. This hardy and drought-tolerant plant is perfect for adding a pop of color to gardens, trellises, walls, or hanging baskets. Its vigorous climbing habit and ability to thrive in full sun make it an excellent choice for landscapes, patios, or large containers, where it can grow to be a centerpiece of beauty.

Type of Light: Full Sun
Bougainvillea ‘Barbara Karst’ thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming. It performs best in hot, dry conditions and is perfect for sun-drenched areas of your garden or patio.

Watering: Low Water Requirement
This drought-tolerant plant prefers well-draining soil and minimal watering once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings—typically every 1-2 weeks, depending on the weather. During cooler months or dormancy, reduce watering.

Companion Planting:
Bougainvillea ‘Barbara Karst’ pairs well with other drought-tolerant plants like Agave, Lavender, and Lantana, creating a vibrant and water-wise garden. For added texture and color, combine it with Jasmine or Trumpet Vine. These companions thrive in similar sun-drenched environments, providing a harmonious, colorful landscape.
