Mainly popular for its display of intense, deep magenta color from spring through fall, Bougainvillea makes a terrific backdrop when trellised against a wall or fence, performs well whether in the ground or in containers, is fairly drought tolerant, and loves the summer heat! While Bougainvillea are known to be frost tender, ‘Barbara Karst’ is the hardiest variety, and it will grow rapidly with the onset of warmth in spring, quickly making up for time spent in winter dormancy.
