Description

Bougainvillea Bushes form dense, colorful mounds of papery bracts in vibrant shades like raspberry, lavender, orange and white. Heat- and drought-tolerant once established, they flourish in Florida’s full sun with minimal care, needing only occasional pruning and moderate water. Perfect as stand-alone specimens, informal hedges, or container showpieces, they bring continuous tropical color to patios and landscapes. With varieties such as Mauna Kea, Silhouette and Coconut Ice, Bougainvillea Bushes offer versatile beauty that complements both modern and cottage-style gardens.
