Description
Shot in my yard in El Sobrante, CA., USA
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, or trees. The inflorescence consists of large colourful sepallike bracts which surround three simple waxy flowers. It is native to South America from Brazil west to Peru and south to southern Argentina. Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. Bougainvillea are also known as buganvilla, bugambilia, bouganvilla, pokok bunga kertas, bougenville, Napoleón, jahanamiya, veranera, trinitaria, Santa Rita, papelillo
Bougainvillea are tropical and must be protected from frost. In Zone 8 and cooler, you are almost limited to growing them in some kind of container unless you treat them as an annual (plant a new plant outdoors each year). Bougainvillea thrives in full sun. At least 5 hours a day of direct sunlight is the minimal light required for good bloom.
