Bougainvillea - Elizabeth
Bougainvillea 'Elizabeth Angus' - Bold, in your face color and impressive form, the Elizabeth Angus Bougainvillea is a heat-loving flowering shrub that displays vivid purple flower-like petals, called bracts, that smother these plants! Forming upright vining stems and multiple climbing branches, these plants can be kept as climbers, trained into an ornamental tree form, or pruned as a low-growing shrub.
These broadleaf evergreens offer year-round color with their glossy deep green leaves and become especially lit up when the dramatic three-petaled bracts form! Each is highlighted by a pale yellow stamen in the centers, no one will be able to take their eyes off them each year! These lovelies bloom throughout the spring, summer, and fall because of the long-lasting bracts!
Fast-growing Elizabeth Angus is evergreen throughout USDA growing zones 9 through 11, and tolerates almost any warm climate condition, moderately moist soil, and loves the heat and sun! Botanically a vine, these form woody stems that can be trained into trees and shrubs with some pruning. Growing into an 8-12 feet mature height and a 4-6 foot wide woody vine!
