Bougainvilleas are one of my favourite plants. I love the vibrancy of the colours available and how magnificent these shrubs look trailing over fences or pergolas.
For many years I've had bougainvillea on the list of plants I would like in my garden if ever I had the space and the right location. Well, yesterday I planted a hybrid called 'Vera Blakeman' and so have crossed bougainvillea off my wish list.
My aim is to have it cover the trellis behind. This spot is ideal as it has a northerly aspect, where it will catch the sun for most of the day. At the moment it has lots of magenta bracts with tiny pointed flowers in white.
