Purple Queen Bougainvillea

This is a bold, vibrant tropical beauty that delivers an explosion of deep purple blooms nearly year-round in warm-climates. Known for its intense color and vigorous growth, this variety features clusters of papery bracts that surround tiny white flowers, creating a stunning contrast against the dark green foliage.

Perfect for containers, trellises, fences, or cascading over walls, Purple Queen thrives in full sun and brings unmatched tropical flair to the landscape. Drought-tolerant once established and very low maintenance, it's ideal for gardeners who want a high-impact display with minimal effort.
