Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea glabra
About this plant
The longest-flowering plant we supply - seven months of magenta, crimson, orange or white on almost no water. Trained over pergolas and walls, clipped as a mound on a median, or grown in a planter.
Planting & care
Full sun, poor dry soil, minimal water; over-watering gives leaves instead of flowers. Prune hard after the main flush. Handle with gloves - the stems are thorny.
