When do Bougainvillea Bloom in Amalfi?
I have seen countless photos of the beautiful purple bougainvillea flowers blooming across terraces in Capri and Amalfi. Can anyone tell me during which months these flowers are in peak bloom?
Also, any thoughts on visiting the area during mid-May vs early September? I am looking for warm, clear/sunny weather for optimal photographs. (but of course we would also prefer to avoid the oppressive crowds... we plan to spend 2 nights in Anacapri and 2-3 nights in Positano).

We were there in mid June and the bougainvillea were in bloom everywhere, covering the walkways down to the waterfront. I would definitely opt for earlier rather than later if you're looking for cooler temps - September can be extremely hot. Enjoy your trip - the area is beautiful!

Here on Ischia, about 30/35 miles north of the AC, I spotted the first blooms earlier this week....

Last year, the same plant was still in flower in early Deceber...

And, looking back to when we lived near there, I found this - from January...

If you can bear the crowds, and the temperatures, August is probably the best time to find things growing - check out the list below this photo...

But you could come at almost any time - so why not try this year-round collection?

nyc,
As a Califronia native, I can tell you they are long-blooming. Pretty much all during warm weather - spring thru fall.
What I loved about the Amalfi Coast at the end of March during my first visit was the wisteria! Gorgeous!
