Bougainvillea, Dwarf Bougainvillea, Lesser Bougainvillea, Paper Flower 'Helen Johnson'

I would give Bougainvillea, Dwarf Bougainvillea 'Helen Johnson' (Bougainvillea glabra) a better than positive rating if I could. I have ...Read Morehad mine for over 2 years. It is a prolific bloomer that is very seldom without colorful bracts all season. I love the fact that it does not have large, sharp, skin piercing thorns and does not require pruning. I recommend this plant for anyone wanting a bougainvillea that does not need to be controlled. Because its root system is small, it is great in a container, requires little water and is easily moved into shelter during freezes.due to its small size. Two thumbs up for 'Helen Johnson'.

Update: 10/22/2017 My 'Helen Johnson' dwarf bougainvillea continues to bring me pleasure after 11 years. It now growing in a larger container and still blooming prolifically.

Notes from the grower: Tropical evergreen with true dwarf form. Showy hot pink bracts. Prefers full sun. Low maintenance variety.
