A beautiful flowering shrub that brings color to the streets of warm temperate regions. In cooler areas, bougainvillea should be grown in pots. This variety has variegated foliage of green, yellow, and cream. Its flowers range from white to pale pink. To ensure flowering, it requires a rest period in winter. To do this, simply place it in a bright, cool place (cold greenhouse, unheated veranda, on a windowsill without a heater). Bougainvillea also requires a lot of water and fertilizer .
