The Bougainvillea glabra 'Pyramid Red', affectionately known in the UK as Bougainvillea, is an enchanting indoor climbing plant that adds a splash of colour to any interior with its radiant red flowers. This plant is celebrated not only for its stunning visual appeal but also for its ability to purify the air, making it a dual-purpose addition to your home. When considering placement, bright, sunny spots like conservatories, south-facing windows, or well-lit hallways are ideal to encourage prolific blooming. The 'Pyramid Red' can create a dramatic effect when used to adorn indoor trellises or when allowed to cascade gracefully from hanging baskets, providing an instant touch of Mediterranean charm.

Its flowers, which are actually bracts, bring an exotic flair to any room, pairing wonderfully with green foliage plants like ferns or ivy, which contrast beautifully against its vivid blooms. This variety typically grows up to a maximum height of 120cm with a spread of up to 90cm if given the proper support and care. While it predominantly serves as an ornamental indoor plant, it's also known for its air purification properties, contributing to a healthier living environment. Pruning can help maintain its shape and promote denser growth, making it as versatile as it is beautiful. The Bougainvillea can thrive indoors with the right conditions, bringing a piece of the tropics into your home.

Plant Care Guide

Caring for your 'Pyramid Red' involves placing it in a location where it will receive at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering to mimic its natural drought-tolerant habits. A high-potash fertiliser can encourage more vibrant blooms. Ensure good air circulation to prevent pests and diseases. While it enjoys warmth, be wary of sudden temperature drops during winter. Minimal pruning is required; simply shape as desired.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Delivery Discrepancies

Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
