Origin: Brazil

Bougainvillea are relatively pest-free plants, but may suffer from worms and aphids. The larvae of some Lepidoptera species also use them as food plants including Giant Leopard Moth.

Bougainvilleas are popular ornamental plants in most areas with warm climates, including Australia, the Caribbean, India, Malaysia, the Mediterranean region, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United States in Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, and southern Texas.

Numerous cultivars and hybrids have been selected, including nearly thornless shrubs. Some Bougainvillea cultivars are sterile, and are propagated from cuttings.
