Any suggestions? Thanks.
We planted a tall stemmed bougainvillea in a LARGE pot by our driveway (approx 3 ft tall, 2 ft wide). Full Sun. Needs less water than many other other plants. Blooms year around. It’s beautiful right now. Has an auto watering spray connected to a nearby shrubbery irrigation head. Make certain that your pot has a drain hole and install a few inches of stone over it covered by a sheet of Landscsping fabric to keep the drain open.

Purchased the pot on sale and the plant ($140) at Village Palms on 466 & Rolling Acres Rd.
