| Botanical Name | Bougainvillea 'Elizabeth Angus' |
| Description | 'Elizabeth Angus' is a vigorous evergreen vine prized for its glossy green foliage and brilliant purple-magenta bracts. While it adores the intense Houston sun and humidity, it is sensitive to heavy clay and poor drainage. For success in our area, plant in raised beds or containers with well-draining soil to avoid "wet feet" during our rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for maximum blooming) |
| Height x Width | 15-30 ft. Tall x 8-10 ft. Wide (with support) |
| Water | Low once established; prefers to dry out between waterings. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Protect from hard freezes in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Use a high-potassium "Hibiscus" or "Bougainvillea" food during the growing season. |
| Pruning | Prune after a flowering cycle to shape and encourage more blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
