Bougainvillea 'Barbara Karst' Live Plant - 3 Gallon Pot with Trellis - Vibrant Red Flowering Shrub for Gardens, Patios & Landscaping

This vigorous, showy vine shines with bright, magenta-red, petal-like bracts. Creates a fine cover for patios or arbors, and is a dramatic groundcover for banks when allowed to ramble unsupported. Drought tolerant when established. Evergreen in frost-free climates; provides superb warm season color in colder winter areas. The Bougainvillea variety ‘Barbara Karst’ is a marriage of toughness and beauty. Not only does ‘Barbara Karst’ handle desert heat well, it has been noted as hardy down to 25°F. From spring, all the way through summer, the relatively inconspicuous blossoms of ‘Barbara Karst’ are surrounded by bracts of such a bright magenta-red color that they almost look unreal, though in light shade the bracts will take on a more earthly violet cast. Plant in full sun to bring out the bright color of the bracts, if planted in more shade the color will dull to a reddish-blue. It requires very little irrigation along the coast once established.
