Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea glabra

Bougainvillea is a stunning climbing plant celebrated for its vibrant, papery bracts that come in shades of pink, purple, red, and orange. This hardy, sun-loving plant thrives in warm climates and can be trained as a vine or shaped into a shrub. Bougainvillea prefers well-drained soil and minimal watering once established, making it a drought-tolerant option. Its colorful blooms create a breathtaking display, adding a burst of color to gardens, trellises, and fences. Though relatively low maintenance, it does benefit from periodic pruning to control its shape and encourage more blooms.
