Bougainvillea Glabra, native to South America, is a perennial ornamental plant that creates a tropical atmosphere with its showy purple-pink flowers. Its true flowers are small and white, while the brightly colored leaves (bracts) surrounding them give the plant its unique visual appeal. Capable of flowering year-round in warm climates, Bougainvillea is a favorite in landscape projects as wall cover, pergola decoration and potted plant. With its drought-tolerant nature and fast growth, it offers an easy-care yet highly impressive choice.
