Bougainvillea in TN not blooming

Post by bbflygirl » August 13th, 2016, 7:51 pm

Hello all. I have a bougainvillea that I bought last year for our back yard. Brought it in for our TN winter to the garage, and it lost some leaves but has recovered beautifully this year, EXCEPT that it only has green leaves and no blooms. I read it may not have been getting enough sun, so I just moved it out in an open part of our yard a few minutes ago. But do any of you have other pointers for promoting blooms and general care? Thanks

bbflygirl, here's a tip sheet of sorts, https://www.texasgardener.com/pastissue ... ungry.html
Bougainvillea can be invasive though if pruned they bloom for a few weeks, and then rest.
But since you like them, I hope the link will help.
Good Luck!
