Seasonal flowers no doubt add variety to a garden but having to replant them each season, one needs time to opt for seasonal flowers.
Due to lack of time seasonal flowers get a back seat and in their absence what will be left in a garden would not be worth displaying. That is the time when perennial flowers come to one’s rescue.
I have several perennial flowers such as alamanda, chinese hats, euphorbias, ixoras, periwinkles and last but not the least bougainvillea.
Bougainvillea are in a class by themselves. They produce a veritable paradise in a garden when they are in bloom. Their blooming time is between September to May – a fairly large part of a year.
I had to put in a lot effort to collect as many colours as possible which I am now quite happy about. I have about 8 colours
I have spread them all over the garden so that there is a riot of colour all over the garden. I have a cluster just at the entrance welcoming visitors
Bougainvillea also play another important role in that they could be great protectors of a property. They have thorns and when planted around a fence it becomes difficult for anyone to break through.
Bougainvillea do not need much maintenance. A bit of watering is all what is required.
They could also be planted in pots which could even replace the roses in one’s garden as roses need a lot of care and maintenance
As is the case with any category there could be mutations and many more colours may have been introduced around. I will soon do a search and see if I can add more colours in my garden.
Bougainvillea have a tendency to grow wild. They need to be kept in trim and this is normally done just after the rains when new shoots appear. Sometimes instead of leaves one can see flowers jutting out – a surprise yet a welcome phenomena

Bougainvillea is indeed beautiful and we have this in our home. Although it doesn't require much maintenance they are pleasant to have in our garden. It surrounds the wall in our home and forms a natural garland in our home.
We have this plant in the entrance of our college and it is one of the major attractions and landmarks to our college, This Bougainvillea stands as a pretty landmark in the entrance. Other than Bouganvillea we have so many exotic flowering trees which add the beauty to our serene environment.
I just love them and planning to have more of them in my home. Thanks for the article. :)
Once they are planted they stay there forever with may be with a bit of trimming.
