Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea is a vigorous, thorny evergreen vine or shrub celebrated for its mass of brilliant, papery bracts that surround tiny white flowers. Native to South America, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, exhibiting exceptional drought and salt tolerance. Its scrambling habit makes it ideal for trellises, fences, or as a dense groundcover. While it flourishes in tropical climates, it can be maintained in containers or as bonsai in cooler regions.
