Bougainvillea is a vibrant and striking ornamental plant known for its colorful bracts, which are often mistaken for petals. Bougainvillea is celebrated for its ability to add a splash of color to gardens and landscapes throughout the year. The plant is native to South America but has become popular in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

The Bougainvillea thrives in warm climates and prefers full sun to bring out its best color. It is a vigorous, climbing shrub or vine with thorny stems and leathery leaves. The bright red bracts surround small, inconspicuous white or purple flowers, creating a dramatic floral display.
