Bougainvillea Climbing “Lilac” (Bougainvillea Spectabilis)
The Bougainvillea climbing “Lilac” (Bougainvillea spectabilis) is a vibrant, fast-growing ornamental vine known for its profusion of colorful, papery bracts that resemble flowers. While the true flowers are small and white, the surrounding lilac to purple bracts create a stunning display that can bloom almost year-round in warm climates. Native to South America, this vigorous climber thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. It can be trained to grow along fences, trellises, or walls, making it a popular choice for adding color and vertical interest to gardens. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages more blooms, and while it is generally low-maintenance, it does have sharp thorns, so care should be taken when handling.
