When planting your bougainvilleas, ensure they have plenty of room to grow. Space them 6 to 9 feet apart in well-draining soil, away from other plants. These plants have sharp thorns, so position them away from walkways and high-traffic areas. The best time to plant bougainvillea is during spring or summer, allowing the vines to establish a strong root system before the arrival of cooler weather. Providing the right conditions is crucial for healthy growth and abundant flowering.
