I do nothing special. Keep in full sun, Fertilise regularly, and keep on the dry side

They are stunning! Ill bet a lot of digging, sweat and sore backs went in to getting those back home.

I saw some other bougainvillea on Gardening Australia last night too. They did a feature on the curator of Kings Park and his work in the park with the wild flower display, they then went to his home and there was a bougainvillaea there that must have been at least 600mm wide at the base.
