    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Bright red flowers against the backdrop of variegated leaves with the tips of the young leaves tinged in red make 'Red Rooster' something to crow about. This robust, vigorous vine performs well as a hanging basket or as a potted plant given support to climb on. Its stems are heavier that most standard bougainvillea hybrids so it makes a defined statement as a climbing container plant.
