Product Description
The Zakirana variegated bougainvillea (often spelled Jakirana) is a compact, vibrant variety of Bougainvillea featuring striking colorful bracts paired with cream-splashed or variegated leaves. It is a hardy, sun-loving tropical ornamental popular for container gardening and small landscape spaces.
PLANT FEATURES
FOLIAGE: Unique variegated green leaves splashed with cream or lighter tones.
BRACTS: Paper-like modified leaves (often rich orange, peach, or pink) that surround tiny, inconspicuous white or yellow true flowers.
GROWTH HABIT: A steadier, more compact grower than wild sprawling types, easily shaped into a dense bush or container specimen.
THORNS: Features sharp stems typical of the Bougainvillea family.
CARE REQUIREMENTS
SUNLIGHT: Needs full, direct sun for at least six hours a day to maximize bright leaf coloration and heavy blooming.
WATERING: Highly drought-tolerant once established. Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings.
SOIL: Well-draining, sandy or loamy potting mix.
PRUNING: Regular tip-pruning after bloom cycles encourages a bushier shape and promotes heavier future flushes.
