I put my reasonably healthy small bougainvilla plant into garden on a table 2 days ago and now leaves are turning yellow and dropping. I fed it some coffee grounds and miracle grow. What have I done wrong and how can I resuscitate?

Have you been watching the soil moisture? Plants in containers need far more water outdoors, than indoors. Also, was the plant hardened off to chilly nights and direct sun by the time you put it out permanently?

And was the strength of the fertilizer as recommended on the pack - more isn't better. They prefer a night temperature of around 60 degrees so its probably the cold night air it doesn't like

Healthy Bougies can stand up to temps of 30ยบ F, but they have to be hardened to it.

We've had quite a cold wind here for several days. Has it been the same in Hampshire. If so, that could be the reason.
