If you want vibrant color in your yard, bougainvilleas are a great option. These tropical plants are easily recognizable for their vivid, showy flowers that can vine and fill garden walls and fences during spring and summer.
You might be surprised to learn that bougainvilleas are not just climbing plants, but can also be grown as bonsai trees. Growing shrubs or trees in miniature form - the art of bonsai - is a traditional Japanese technique with remarkable results. Bonsai care might seem intimidating, and it certainly does require both skill and patience, but by following a few rules, you will not be disappointed.
