Bougainvillea

Brilliant flower bracts on woody stems make this an excellent choice for planters and hanging baskets. This vigorous variety will quickly grow to extensive lengths, climbing a trellis, arbor or fence, or can be pruned into an elegant shrub. Add a tropical flair to the summer porch or patio or use year-round where hardy.
