"Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's Party !" "
Here is a pic of my magenta Bougainvilla plant in full bloom.
Bougainvilla is a tropical plant that grows all year around in regions with hot weather. In Delhi, this plant loses all its leaves in the cold winters and starts booming only in mid - March. It requires very little water and lots of sunlight. The best way to get lots of Bougainvilla flowers on your plant is to trim the ends of the stems regularly.

Bouganville are so cute. I had them in my house in India. They are good for the boundaries. I had them closer to my compound walls. As you said they grow very well when their edges are cut. I used to regularly trim down. The colours are so attractive for eyes.
ReplyDeleteQuite effective in keeping the light from the head-lamps of vehicles coming from the opposite direction, out of your eyes, when planted on road-dividers!
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful and everywhere...
