If the brilliance of bougainvillea flowers alone isn't enough for you, you will love this variety with gorgeous variegated foliage. The leaves have white-green or yellow-green variegation, showing  irregular patterns starting from the edges or the center of the leaves. We try out new variegated-leaf bougainvillea varieties each year to test their vigor and flowering ability. The two shown red- and orange-flowering hybrids passed the testing phase with flying colors. Since the naming/variety designations for bougainvillea are not internationally standardized, there is no recognized variety name for these two. They are listed as 'Variegata' forms, the red-flowered one as 'Raspberry Ice'.

Quality: variegated perennial bloomers, vigorous climbers or pruned as shrubs/standards

Use: from May outdoors on balcony & terrace; all year round in heated conservatories
