I purchased a Bouganvilla in Florida in the spring and brought it home ot Chicago. It is only about 1 foot tall and in June, it was covered with purple flowers. Unfortunately, they only lasted about 2 weeks and they all withered and fell off.

Now, it's growing like a weed, but only new green growth. I thought the flowers stayed on for a much longer period of time.

Is there any trick to getting these guys to bloom? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
