An equally beautiful and rarely available group of Bougainvillea are the double-flowered varieties. Their colored bracts are much smaller than those of single-flowered relatives. However, they stand together in dense "clusters" that delight fans of container gardens and conservatories. The plants are slow growing and remain small with growths of about 20-30 cm per year. Water with care in winter and in the transitional seasons so as not to wet the roots, as the water requirement is low.

Quality: colorful perennials, vigorous climbers or pruned as shrubs/standards

Use: from May outside on balcony & terrace; all year round in heated winter gardens
