How many colors does bougainvillea come in? Three minutes to get to know them and make you a variety enthusiast

A gardening friend asked how many colors bougainvillea comes in. There are a great many bougainvillea varieties, and a great many colors too; most of the colors are bicolors (several colors layered together) and the like. That is, several colors on a single petal; then there is distinguishing them by leaf shape; there are also varieties that can bloom in two colors on one plant, plus double-flowered ones and so on.

The varieties we usually grow at home are the ordinary bright red, purple and the like. These bougainvillea varieties are rather lazy, meaning they bloom fewer times than other varieties. At most they bloom two or three times a year, and even that requires strict water control and light to achieve.

Some varieties, such as 'Angus'. 'Green Leaf Orange'. 'Green Leaf Lemon Yellow', 'Yijin', 'Lipstick', 'India Pictorial', 'Orange Ice', 'Red Heart Cherry Blossom', 'Green Leaf Cherry Blossom', 'Pink Butterfly', 'Pagoda Purple', 'Pagoda Orange', 'Double Pink', 'Double Red', 'Double Orange', 'White Snow' and so on, are all very free-flowering. These varieties have beautiful flower colors and bloom freely, making them quite suitable for growing at home; they are excellent both for enjoying the flowers and the foliage.

Any plant has many varieties, because there is a lot of hybridization nowadays; as people's living standards rise, more people grow flowers, and more people do horticultural hybridization of new varieties. If you want to grow a pot of bougainvillea to admire, you can choose colors other than purple and red, as they are all relatively able to bloom. Very nice indeed.

Overall, bougainvillea colors include white, red, purple, pink. Yellow, orange, bicolor and so on; there are also many hybrid varieties whose single petal carries several colors. I will not go into them one by one here.
