bougainvillea ‘assorted’

Gorgeous, semi-tropical, woody shrub/vine that produces brilliant neon bracts covering small white, tubular flowers in pink, violet, salmon, white, etc. that resemble paper lanterns all growing season over dense green foliage. They make an awesome annual “thriller” supported on a trellis in a mixed container garden, and grow best spilling over the sides of hanging baskets. Be aware that some varieties produce sharp thorns on their branches. They can be wintered over indoors as a houseplant too. Shop our online selection of Bougainvilleas online in Assorted Annuals.
