Bougainvillea is a popular ornamental plant grown for its colorful bracts that add color to surrounding areas. It is commonly used in parks, homes, and institutions as bushes, climbers, hedges, topiaries, standards, pot plants, and bonsai. Bougainvillea is drought and pollution resistant and can grow in a wide range of climates and soil types. Research institutes and universities have developed many cultivars of Bougainvillea in India due to its ornamental and commercial importance. Bougainvillea flowers are tubular with bright colored bracts that attract beneficial insects and the plants can be propagated through hardwood cuttings.
