Bougainvillea brings bold color and visual interest to rural or urban landscapes. A thorny, woody, floriferous vine native to South America, bougainvillea is disease resistant, drought-tolerant and easy to grow. More than 250 varieties of bougainvillea are available, including dwarf, semidwarf, thornless and giant.
Bougainvillea "Vera Deep Purple," a semidwarf variety recently introduced from Europe, presents brilliant fuchsia-colored clusters of flowers. The rounded leaves are light green. A low-growing plant, it reaches a mature height of 4 feet tall and grows up to 4 feet wide. The size and shape of the plant is controlled by pruning.
