There are many varieties of bougainvillea, and there are many in various colors. The growth habits of each species of bougainvillea are different, and the degree of flowering and flowering time are also different. Among all the bougainvillea, red and pink are more common, and purple is relatively less. There are five main types of purple bougainvillea common, namely: tower purple, Angus, Brazilian purple, and leaflet purple. Which of these 5 purple bougainvillea is better? Let's analyze it for you.
<h1>Tower purple</h1>
The bougainvillea of the tower system is more diligent, and the tower purple is no exception, its degree of flowering can hit 5 stars, and when the plant is relatively small, it can continue to flower. When the tower purple blossoms, it is all blooming in clusters, like a pagoda, and the name is also derived from the appearance when it blooms. Because the flowering is more diligent, the growth rate is not too good, often non-stop flowering, and the branches and leaves stagnate. Therefore, when the maintenance tower purple, when the seedlings are relatively small in the early stage, they can prevent it from flowering by controlling the light, increasing the amount of watering, and applying nitrogen fertilizer diligently, first grow one, and when the plant is relatively large, then the flowering will be purple and explosive, which is very beautiful. Tower purple berry bonsai old pile is particularly stylish, the growth rate of branches and leaves is not fast, the plant type is easy to maintain, coupled with flowering diligent, ornamental value is very high. However, the tower purple on the market is generally not very thick, and if you want to make a bougainvillea bonsai, you need to carefully maintain it for a long time.
<h1>Angus</h1>
Angus is probably the most widely grown and popular variety in the bougainvillea purple series. Triangle Meangus can play 5 stars of flowers, properly maintained, there is no problem in opening three stubbles a year, and some flower friends' Angus can even open continuously. Compared with Ta Zi, Angus also has an advantage, that is, it not only flowers diligently, but also grows very fast. That is to say, in the case of sufficient temperature, light, and fertilizer, Angus can grow branches and leaves while flowering. Because of this, Angus has become increasingly popular and has become one of the blockbusters in the bougainvillea. In addition, Angus's hardiness is also relatively good, there is generally no problem with wintering in an environment of minus two or three degrees, above zero degrees can be evergreen, and above ten degrees can flower. So, if the purple series of bougainvillea is missing at home, Angus can consider it.
<h1>Brazilian purple and Brazilian lilac purple</h1>
Many flower lovers are easy to confuse bougainvillea Brazilian purple and Brazilian lilac purple, both of which belong to the light purple series, which is really not very good. The petals of Brazilian purple are sharper, longer, and larger. The petals of Brazilian lilac purple are shorter and rounder. Brazilian purple flowers are more scattered, Brazilian lilac purple flowers are more compact, in the branches of the cluster of blooms. Maintained in the same environment, Brazilian purple is a little lighter in color than Brazilian lilac purple. The degree of flowering of Brazilian purple in bougainvillea can hit 3 stars, while the degree of flowering of Brazilian lilac purple is only about 2 stars. Brazilian purple and Brazilian lilac violet will become lighter and lighter when the light is not very sufficient and the fertilizer water is not very good. Therefore, if you want to make Brazilian purple and Brazilian lilac purple darker in color, light and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can not be less.
<h1>Leaflet purple</h1>
The biggest advantage of bougainvillea leaf purple is frost resistance and fast growth rate, but its flowering degree is relatively poor, and it can hit 2 stars. Because it is not too diligent, the small leaf purple thorn will also be more, and some places will use it to make hedges. Compared with Angus, the leaves of the small leaf purple are much smaller, and the flowers are smaller, and the color of the two is similar in the same environment. Bougainvillea leaf violet grows fast, so it is often used to make rootstock and graft other varieties of bougainvillea. The cold tolerance of small leaf violet is super good, and it can safely survive the winter in an environment of about minus five degrees (only for medium and large seedlings, the cold tolerance of small seedlings will be worse). In some places, the temperature will be below zero degrees in winter, but it will not be very low, and if you want to plant bougainvillea, it is suitable for choosing small leaf purple. Although the small leaf purple is not very diligent, but because the leaves are small and the branching ability is strong, it is easy to burst when it is in full bloom, and there is a beautiful scenery that only sees the flowers and leaves.
<h1>Gold-rimmed light purple and silver-edged light purple</h1>
Bougainvillea gold edge light purple and silver edge light purple are not very diligent flowers, and the degree of diligent flowering can hit 2 stars. In the northern region, Phnom Penh Light Purple and Silver Edge Light Purple are planted, and often only bloom once a year. Their biggest advantage is that the leaves are good-looking, and you can look at the leaves when they are not flowering. The flowers are very light in color, lighter than Brazilian purple. If there is not enough light and fertilizer, there is really only a little color. Personally, I don't like the bougainvillea golden edge light purple and silver edge light purple too much, and it is really difficult to flower before. But there are also flower lovers who like them very much, and feel that the leaves have characteristics and the blossoms are small and fresh.
In addition to the above types of bougainvillea in the purple series, there are also light leaf violets. Light leaf purple is also not a diligent flowering variety, most of which can only bloom once or twice a year. Which purple bougainvillea do you like? Welcome to add other purple varieties!
