Bougainvillea
BN: Bougainvillea spectabilis TH:

DT: high FS: year round ZN:
10b-11 AS: #3 #7 #15 #25 CH: Bougainvillea is one of our most popular tropical plants here in South Florida due to their explosive color variations. It loves the warm and sunny climate and is very easy to grow. All varieties are very drought tolerant and actually prefer a well drained, dry situation. They can grow in almost any soil type and are fast growers. Use them to decorate fences, trellises, arbors or espalied on large walls. This versatile plant comes in many eye-popping colors like; Red, Purple, Orange, Apricot, White, Pink, and Cream Yellow and also comes in bicolor. This plant can also be used as a ground cover, standard tree, in hanging baskets or cascading down planters. Makes a great vine for decorating patios and plazas. However, most varieties have sharp thorns so use due care when trimming or moving this prolific grower. Every couple months when plants are through with a blooming cycle they need to be cut back and fertilized to bring on a new robust set of bracts (blooms). This plant is sensitive to freezing temperatures. Cold damage from frost or wind-chill can burn leaves or cause leaves to turn yellow then brown and shed. So try to protect or cover when needed.

Cape Honeysuckle
BN: Tecomaria capensis TH:
6 to 8 feet RG: fast ST: medium
DT: medium FS: summer and fall ZN:
10b thru 11 AS: #3 CH:This large sprawling shrub can be trained when young as a vine if supported and tied to trellises and fences. Its red-orange blossoms are vibrant and resemble the true honeysuckle blossom. However, the CapeHoneysuckle is more of a hard stemmed, non-twining shrub. Flowers are stunning, attract butterflies and are one of the favorite foods for hummingbirds. A great plant to use in exotic gardens! This plant blooms early in the fall and will flower on though into spring. Be careful when trimming and handling since the sap can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction. This plant will survive winters temperatures as low as 28˚F for short durations. If a hard freeze occurs it will die back to the ground and remain dormant. Landscape
