The bougainvillea Plant is beautiful but nasty plant to work with.

If you love flowering vines-- the bougainvillea plant is one you’re sure to call a favorite. These beauties come in a red, purple, blue and other bright colors. The plant has many large thorns that can put a hurting on you if your not careful. Cutting down and removing a large bougainvillea is a lot of hard work even for professional landscapers. Landscaping is what I do for a living in Florida. And I am often asked to cut down and prune these plants, and it’s not fun. But boy are they beautiful to look at. Keep in mind that the bougainvillea plant will choke off other plants as it matures. So be sure to give it plenty of room to grow. This vine is hardy and can grow rapidly. I’ve seen them grow well in the sun, shade and even in drought like conditions. You can pick one of them up at most home improvement and gardening store here in Florida.
