Description:

Raspberry Ice blooms red and holds that color before fading to magenta and pink. It also has varigated foliage.

Bougainvillea can be used as a houseplant or hanging basket in cooler climates. In the landscape, it makes an excellent hot season plant, and its drought tolerance makes it ideal for warm climates year-round. Its high salt tolerance makes it a natural choice for color in coastal regions. It can be pruned into a standard, but is also grown along fence lines, on walls, in containers and hanging baskets, and as a hedge or an accent plant. Its long arching thorny branches bear heart-shaped leaves and masses of papery bracts of flowers.

Cultivation:

This variety will do well in partial shade or full sun. Requires regular watering, Outdoor height of 5-6' tall  with 3' spread. Can be container grown.  Repot in rich, well-draining soil. Zone 8-11 and higher.
