Bougainvillea spectabilis is a vigorous, thorny, woody vine. It is known for its intense purple, magenta, or red bracts. Ideal for screens, hedges, and security barriers, or as a decorative vine over walls and trellises. 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.
