Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information, and other details shown on our website are accurate and up to date. However, this information is provided as a general guide only and may occasionally vary between batches, suppliers, or individual plants.

Stock availability
Our website stock levels update live based on our inventory system, and we work hard to keep them as accurate as possible. However, stock counts can occasionally be incorrect due to in-store sales, damage, or stock discrepancies. This is especially possible when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Plant images
Plant photos are provided as a guide to show what a plant may look like when mature and established. In most cases, the image shown is not of the exact individual plant for sale, as this would require constant photo updates across our range. Plants purchased may vary from the images shown in size, fullness, colour, and stage of growth.

Plant sizing
Sizes refer to the size of the pot the plant is sold in, rather than the exact size of the plant itself. For example,

  • 100 mm refers to a 10 cm diameter pot,
  • 140 mm refers to a 14 cm diameter pot,
  • 5L refers to a 5 litre pot, etc.

In general, smaller pot sizes usually indicate younger plants, though the actual size and development of the plant can vary significantly depending on the species, variety, and growth habit.

Photo sourcing and AI-generated imagery
Images used on our website are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under free-use licensing, or used with permission from the original owner. In some cases, AI-assisted imagery may be used where suitable real-world photos are difficult to obtain, in order to help demonstrate what a plant looks like. Where this is done, care is taken to ensure the image remains as true to life as reasonably possible.

Description

Bougainvillea 'Kini', commonly known as Babybino Bougainvillea or Super-Dwarf Bougainvillea, is a compact, evergreen shrub ideal for adding vibrant colour to gardens, patios, or balconies. This cultivar reaches approximately 60 cm in both height and width, making it suitable for small spaces and container planting. 'Kini' is renowned for its delicate pale purple bracts that surround small, inconspicuous cream-coloured flowers. The plant exhibits a profuse blooming cycle, starting in Djilba (early spring) and continuing through Bunuru (late summer), adding a lively charm to any space.

For optimal growth in Perth's climate, 'Kini' thrives in full sun positions and prefers well-draining loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Once established in the ground, it is very drought-hardy; however, when grown in pots, it requires regular watering during the warmer months to prevent the soil from drying out. Over-watering can reduce flowering, so it's essential to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Light pruning after flowering encourages a bushier appearance and promotes further blooming. Due to its compact growth habit, 'Kini' is ideal for use as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, or as a low hedge.
