bouganvilla bicolour
The paperplant bicolour is also called Bougainvillea, although this climbing plant is already well adapted to many parts of the world, it comes from South America, from Brazil to be more specific. Its name is dedicated to Louis Antoine De Bougainville, the explorer, military man and naturalist who brought it to Europe.

care tips
The Bougainvillea is hardy to -4 degrees Celsius, but it likes warmer temperatures. If the Bougainvillea does not get enough sunlight, its chances of flowering will be reduced. It will also grow much less. The Bougainvillea will flower when it is well cared for and gets enough sunlight. Water it quite a lot in the summer.
