I live in California. We had a bad winter this time and looks like my bougainvillea plant is dead. It has only stems and no leaves. When I tried to cut the stem, it is still green and moist inside. So I just left it. Does it mean the plant is still alive and will back this spring? Or I need to replace it?
Will the bougainvillea come back after winter?
Yes it will come back wait until frost danger is over trim back the stems about 4 inches mine were hit here 2 yrs in a row and they came back in glorious health I have 5 that are over 10 ft tall and i know they survive i have the reds and purples .
Reply:If it is still green then it is alive. Wait till the leaves start to shoot again. Any branch that has no leaves remove back to where there are leaves. I would wait and see what has happened before you replace.
Reply:Mine didn't. I tried too. Only plant I actually took care of and its the only one who died. Guess my thumb isn't green. LOL
