Bougainvilleas are extremely popular, not only in tropical, sub-tropical and temperature climates for the brilliant colour they impart to any garden but also as conservatory plants. This is a simple, practical guide to growing and propagating these much-loved and diversely coloured plants. It covers the history of the species and their early distribution, describes some of the many hybrids and cultivars, and gives invaluable advice on how to grow and care for all bougainvilleas.
Whether you wish to grow one specimen plant or a large number of different cultivars as shrubs, climbers, standards, bonsai or even potted plants indoors, this book provides all the necessary information.
