Purple Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis)

Purple Bougainvillea have vivid magenta bracts, contrasting against the backdrop of lush green foliage.

While beautifully catching to the eye, infrequent thorns can be dangerous when pruning, so it’s best to use gloves when keeping tidy. They are fast growers and can be easily shaped over time to the desired form.
