Bougainvillea
Description
In summary: Bougainvillea is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant climber or shrub with striking papery bracts that come in a spectrum of colors, most notably pinks and magentas. It thrives in well-draining soil, enjoys regular but not excessive watering, and rewards patient pruning with abundant color. With proper protection from frost in cooler climates, it can be a resilient, long-lived centerpiece for outdoor spaces or a dramatic container plant. Proper care—adequate light, appropriate soil, measured watering, and timely pruning—will encourage lush growth, prolific bract display, and healthy, disease-resistant plants suitable for a range of garden styles.
