Bougainvillea spectabilis

The Bougainvillea

A vibrant, sun-loving evergreen climber prized for its profuse, long-lasting color display. The true flowers are small and white, but they are surrounded by large, papery bracts in shades of magenta, purple, red, or orange. Bougainvillea spectabilis is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and thrives in hot, dry conditions, making it a low-maintenance choice for covering walls, pergolas, or fences, or for training as a striking shrub or standard. Regular pruning keeps it in shape and encourages heavy blooming from spring through autumn. For landscapers and garden centers, we supply a rotating selection of both nursery-grown and salvaged, mature specimens that offer instant architectural impact.
