Alexandra Bougainvillea

Heat-Loving Climber Produces Knockout, Fuchsia Bracts

Imagine bright pink-purple plants along your fence or cascading down from your backyard arbor. That’s what you’ll get if you plant an Alexandra Bougainvillea! In temperate climates, this evergreen climbing vine will produce spectacular color year round.

Bougainvillea creates a

lush and romantic atmosphere wherever it's planted with its heart-shaped leaves and tiny white flowers

. What we think of as bougainvillea “blooms” are actually its colorful, paper-thin bracts!

Bougainvillea are

eye-catching year-round warm places like California, Florida, Arizona, and Texas.

However, these vines have to be trained to grow on structures, so they need to be tied up to encourage their climbing. If trained properly, bougainvillea vines can grow up to 40 feet long!

Otherwise, bougainvillea make

spectacular groundcover or potted plants

. If you live in a colder climate,

you can grow your Alexandra Bougainvillea in a container.

Potted bougainvillea retain a shrub-like form and only grow a few feet tall.

The Alexandra Bougainvillea looks showy, but this stunner is one of the easiest plants to care for.

It actually produces

more

colorful bracts if it’s crowded and parched, making it a low-maintenance gardener’s dream

. And after it’s established, you don’t even have to water it unless you’re in an extreme drought.
