She has two sister plants Orange Glory and Magenta Glory, both are marketed by the Colourstream Group. The Glory series are excellent plants, they are moderate growers, produce colour all-year-round and have the same cascading growth habit.

Bougainvillea are long flowering and can be adapted for a wide variety of landscaping uses. Some of these uses include topiary, hedging, hanging baskets, arbours and arches. Today’s Bougainvillea have a great range in growth habit and height.

Please note: At this small size, Bougainvillea have delicate roots and should be handled with care. DO NOT tease or disturb roots but rather water the tube well, gently invert and tap tube on the side of a hard surface so it slides out. Our recommendation is to plant our beautifully-grown Bougainvillea into a larger pots rather than directly into the ground.
