Scarlet Glory is known for its vibrant rosy scarlet red flowers that bloom abundantly during summer and autumn. Flowering from October through to May, this vigorous climber delivers an extended season of colour, making it an excellent choice for adding visual impact to outdoor spaces.

Pruning after the main flowering flush helps encourage fresh new growth and promotes continued flowering throughout the season.

Conditions: Full sun. Bougainvilleas can be grown from warm temperate to tropical areas and are happy in coastal gardens.
