Bougainvillea 'Raspberry Ice' wake up time in Spring
Comments:
  • Posted by OldGardener (So Cal - Zone 10b) on Jun 11, 2014 2:31 PM concerning plant:
    I have 2 mature Bougainvillea 'Raspberry Ice" vines and both are considerably larger than listed (guessing 12-14' each). A great vine indeed. So much so that I ordered another one, which I received today.
