    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Whether staked, trellised or grown in baskets, this brilliant Bougainvillea has the largest bracts of any of the reds we grow. A vigorous climber, our mother plant is never without bloom. As with all in this genus, the color softens when grown under less than full sun.
