Bougainvillea 'Barbara Karst' is a stunning, evergreen vine that produces an abundance of bright red bracts throughout the warm season. This popular cultivar is known for its vigorous growth, profuse flowering, and drought tolerance, making it a great addition to gardens and landscapes in warm and sunny regions.

The plant has small green leaves and thorny branches that grow up to 20 feet long, which can be trained to climb up trellises, walls, or other structures. The real showstopper, however, are the bright red, papery bracts that surround the small white flowers, creating an explosion of color in the garden.

Bougainvillea 'Barbara Karst' is a low-maintenance plant that prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and can withstand high heat and dry conditions, although it will benefit from regular watering during prolonged periods of drought. This vine is a great choice for adding color and texture to Mediterranean, tropical, or desert landscapes.

In addition to its ornamental value, Bougainvillea 'Barbara Karst' is also an excellent choice for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. Its long blooming season and showy flowers make it a standout choice for those looking to add a touch of tropical beauty to their garden.
