I want to grow bougainvillea across a garage wall approximately 3m tall by 10m wide.
We've attached the trellis to train it and we're ready to go when spring sets in. Baby bougainvilleas don't like the wet so I'm waiting for the rain to ease off a bit.
Now, bougainvilleas grow to be 5m high x 4m wide. The height is obviously sufficient but the width will require 3 plants.
My question is, will 3 plants be enough or should I plant more to ensure a nice dense coverage? If I plant more than 3 will I be crowding the plants?
I know bougainvilleas are fast growing but I'd preferably like to get the whole wall covered in as few seasons as possible. Planting say 4 or 5 plants would get the wall covered sooner but is there a long term drawback to this?
