Description

Bougainvillea 'Ningili', commonly known as Bambino Bougainvillea or Dwarf Bougainvillea, is a compact, evergreen shrub that adds vibrant colour to gardens and containers. This cultivar typically grows to a height and width of approximately 1.5 metres, making it suitable for small gardens, patios, or as a feature plant in larger landscapes. 'Ningili' is particularly noted for its attractive lolly-pink coloured bracts that provide a striking visual appeal throughout the warmer months. ?

For optimal growth in Perth's climate, 'Ningili' thrives in full sun positions and prefers well-draining loamy soil enriched with soil conditioner. Once established in the ground, it is very drought-hardy; however, when grown in pots, it requires regular watering during the summer months to prevent the soil from drying out. Over-watering can reduce flowering, so it's essential to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Light pruning after flowering encourages a bushier appearance and promotes further blooming. Due to its compact growth habit and vibrant blooms, 'Ningili' is ideal for planting in pots or containers, as well as for landscape gardening and mass plantings.
