Bougainvillea 'Juanita Hatten'

Bougainvillea 'Juanita Hatten' 

Description:

Bougainvillea 'Juanita Hatten' is a stunning ornamental plant known for its vibrant magenta-pink bracts, which resemble petals, surrounding small, white, tubular flowers. The plant has a vining growth habit and can be trained to grow as a shrub or used as a climber on trellises, fences, or arbors. The foliage is typically green, with ovate leaves, and the plant is evergreen in frost-free areas.

Grow Zone:

- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9-11.  

- In colder regions, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter.

Height and Width:

- Height: Typically reaches 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) when grown as a vine. If pruned regularly and maintained as a shrub, it may be kept smaller, around 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters).

- Width: Spreads 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters) wide.

Uses:

- Ornamental: Often used for its vibrant color in gardens and landscapes as a focal point or to cover walls and fences.

- Hedges & Screens: Can be pruned to form a dense hedge or privacy screen.

- Container Planting: Suitable for container growth, making it versatile for patios or small gardens.

- Climbing: Ideal for training on trellises, pergolas, or as a cascading plant over retaining walls.

Native Range:

- Bougainvillea species are native to South America, particularly Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. The 'Juanita Hatten' cultivar is a hybrid developed for ornamental purposes, and like other bougainvilleas, it thrives in tropical and subtropical climates.

Light:

- Prefers full sun for at least 6 hours a day to encourage abundant flowering.

Soil:

- Thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. A sandy or loamy mix is ideal.

Watering:

- Water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Bougainvillea is drought-tolerant once established.

Fertilization:

- Fertilize during the growing season (spring through fall) with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Reduce fertilization in winter.

Pruning:

- Regular pruning helps control its size and shape. Prune after the flowering season to encourage new growth and more blooms.

Pests & Diseases:

- Generally pest-free but may occasionally encounter aphids, scale, or caterpillars. Treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if necessary.
