Detailed Description: This Elizabeth Angus Bougainvillea is a showstopper with incredible purple-pink bracts that bloom from spring through fall here in Willis! This 5-gallon size gives you immediate impact, growing 8 to 12 feet or reaching 15 to 20 feet if you let it climb freely. What makes this perfect for Texas? It's incredibly drought tolerant once established and actually blooms better with less water. It might freeze back during our hard winters, but it bounces right back from the roots even more vigorous than before. Those thorns make it great for security plantings too!
