Bougainvillea Orange King 2 Live Plants – Bougainvillea Hybrid

Bougainvillea ‘Orange King’ is an ornamental flowering vine known for its vivid orange bracts surrounding small, pale flowers. The colorful bracts contrast with its green foliage, making this variety suitable for sunny patios, garden fences, trellises, and other outdoor landscape displays.

This listing includes 2 live, well-rooted bougainvillea plants supplied as plant plugs. The seller identifies the variety as Orange King, with bracts that may show orange tones fading toward pink. Color intensity and appearance can vary with growing conditions, and plants may not be flowering when delivered.

Bougainvillea grows well in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, while consistently wet soil can cause root problems. The seller lists USDA Zones 9–11 and describes the plant as frost-sensitive. Its climbing or spreading growth habit makes it suitable for supported outdoor planting, and its thorny stems should be handled carefully.
