David77 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 How often do we need to water our mature bougainvillea hedge during the dry season? Most of the time it’s in full sun. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Our neighbour is hardly ever there[about 4 times a year] so his never gets watered and it nicely drapes over our 12 foot wall. It is a very old plant and faces south. edit: we have been here 14+ years and those plants are older than that. They were mature when we moved in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 We have 13 year old plants, all mature, alll in full sun. We have not watered any of them for 10 years and they thrive all year. This may not work for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 It is my understanding that Bouganvillea (Bugambilia locally) do not like "wet feet". Take a look at all the roadside spectacular bloomers that are never watered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
