I've searched the gardening forum, but haven't found anything about your experiences growing Bougainvillea.
In doing research, I've found there are cultivars that are dwarf and thornless. Also, varieties that can be maintained easily as standards, i.e. kept well within bounds. My research indicates that (except for freeze) they would be a decent candidate for a (dreaming of the future) CYV patio area, either in the ground or potted.
Anyone have personal experience you are willing to share?
I know they need 6hours+ of sun, won't bloom in July-August, but perhaps choosing a variety with a variegated leaf will make up the difference when they are not in bloom.
What say you, experienced TV gardeners? Educate me!
