Bougainvillea x buttiana 'Orange King'
Bougainvillea 'Orange King'
Bouganvillea is one of my favorites, definitely a great colour to have in garden. Very drought tolerant as can be seen with flowers. They can be outside or container climbing plants and come in many different flower colours from subtle shades to vibrant. In temperate countries it is happy to be in the ground but in cooler climes it will have to grow in a container to be brought in over the winter. Another name it is sometimes called is 'Paper flowers'. 'Orange King' is a fast-growing plant that bears orange-pink blooms
