Bougainvillea Glabra, commonly known as Bougainvillea, is a vibrant and hardy climbing plant celebrated for its stunning, paper-like bracts in shades of magenta, purple, pink, red, orange, or white.

Its lush, green foliage and vigorous growth make it ideal for covering fences, walls, or pergolas, adding a tropical feel to any garden.
