Bougainvillea x buttiana ‘Barbara Karst’ is a fast-growing, evergreen vine known for its brilliant magenta-red bracts that bloom profusely from spring through fall. It is one of the hardiest bougainvilleas, capable of thriving in diverse conditions from desert heat to coastal salt spray. Excellent for privacy screens, hedges, covering fences/arbors, groundcover for erosion control on banks. Requires at least 6 hrs of full sun to maintain its vibrant bract color; shade will cause colors to dull. It has moderate to low water needs; prefers deep but infrequent watering. Let the soil dry out between irrigations. Grows best in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Deer-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
