Common name:Bougainvillea, Magenta
Botanical name:Bougainvillea spectablis 'Magenta'
The large amount of flamboyant colors on this species come not from the small inconspicuous flowers, but rather from the three large bracts which surround them. Once established, they tend to need very little supplemental irrigation. All varieties are susceptible to fost damage, and vary in size, vigor, and growth habit.
