Bright pink bougainvillea growing over a wall .

Bougainvillea are summer-loving plants. These showstopping climbers thrive in the heat of tropical and sub-tropical temperatures, winding their way over pergolas and porches, surrounding them with subtle fragrance and vibrant color. They are the perfect pick if you want to bring vacation vibes to your yard.
