Bougainvillea Buttiana

Raspberry Ice Bougainvillea

Striking bunches of flowers with variety of colors including yellow, orange, pink, magenta, purple or white and oval, soft green leaves make this cultivar a stand out. Abundant flowers appear in early summer to late fall. Consider as paperflower because of its thin and papery characteristics. The cool-toned blossoms highly attract butterflies and bees . This bushy evergreen is a thorny, woody vine that climbs in each direction. Grows slowly with height of 40 ft tall at maturity and spread 1 foot wide in spreading, mounded habit. It enjoys a good amount of sunlight but prefers dappled shade in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Great cover for banks or walls and excellent choice for container, hanging basket, rock garden and feature plant.
