VF Sunstone White (Bougainvillea) live plant 1’-2’ feet tall
$39.99
The VF Sunstone White Bougainvillea is a stunning ornamental plant that stands out for its variegated foliage and pastel-colored bracts. Unlike traditional bougainvillea varieties that are usually bold in color, this exclusive type produces delicate white bracts with light pink tones, creating a softer and more elegant look. The leaves are also eye-catching, with a green and cream variegation that adds texture and contrast even when the plant is not in bloom.
Bougainvilleas are tropical and subtropical plants that thrive in warm climates with full sun exposure. They are vigorous climbers and can be trained on trellises, fences, pergolas, or walls, providing a lush, colorful display almost year-round in the right environment. The VF Sunstone White variety maintains the same toughness and drought tolerance of other bougainvilleas while offering a unique, rare coloration that makes it highly desirable for collectors and gardeners looking for something special.
Key characteristics include:
- Growth: A strong, woody vine that can reach 10 to 20 feet or more with support.
- Leaves: Variegated green and cream foliage that is ornamental on its own.
- Bracts: White with subtle pink marbling, surrounding tiny cream-colored true flowers in the center.
- Light: Requires full sun (6+ hours daily) for the best blooming.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; tolerates sandy or slightly rocky ground.
- Water: Drought tolerant once established; water moderately but avoid soggy soil.
- Climate: Best suited for USDA zones 9-11; can be grown in containers in colder regions and brought indoors during winter.
This plant is perfect for gardeners who want a bougainvillea with a softer, pastel appearance that still provides the vibrant, tropical flair the species is known for. It works beautifully as a focal point in landscapes, climbing on arbors, or even as a potted specimen on patios. With its rare variegated leaves and delicate-colored bracts, the VF Sunstone White Bougainvillea is both ornamental and unique, making it an excellent choice for those who want an exclusive touch in their garden.
