Growing Bougainvillea in the Northern Plains: Full Sun, Dry Soil, and Minimal Pampering

Bougainvillea in Rapid City, SD

Thrives on neglect:

Full sun 4‑5+ hours daily.
Let soil surface dry between waterings.
Winter: water even less (semi‑dormant).
Fertilize warm months with bloom formula; don't overdo N.

Too much water/food = leaves, no color. This plant wants to be stressed.
