    The hybrid Bougainvillea Lady Mary Baring is a cross of Bougainvillea glabra and Bougainvillea peruviana. This woody perennial vine is a vigorous and thorny climber that can scramble and attain heights of 35 to 40 feet, but when grown as a container plant it will usually only reach about 8 to 10 feet in height. This vine produces colorful golden yellow bracts that surround the tiny creamy colored blooms. As with other Bougainvillea, to perform well it requires a full sun location with well draining soil. The plant can be pruned to a desired shape and size, but heavy pruning will greatly decrease flower production.
