Bougainvillea is a flowering plant that blooms all year round in zone 10 (to grow in other zones proper care is essential). It can survive a light frost, but a deep freeze will kill the plant. It is native to South America and grows in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The Bougainvillea plant is a woody, evergreen vine that can grow up to 30 feet tall. It has dark green leaves and bright, colorful flowers that bloom in clusters ranging from pink to purple, red, or white.

Bougainvillea is a popular landscaping plant because of its beautiful flowers and ability to thrive in warm climates. It is often used as a groundcover or climbing plant on trellises and walls. Bougainvillea is also a popular pot plant because it is easy to care for and can be kept indoors or outdoors.

To encourage blooming, similar to pruning, pinch off the tips of the vines after they have grown 8 inches. This will cause the plant to branch out and produce more flowers. Deadhead spent flowers to keep the plant looking tidy and promote new growth.

Native to Africa, these beautiful flowers are most commonly found in shades of purple, but can also be found in white, pink, and blue. African violets are relatively easy to care for, making them a popular houseplant for both beginner and experienced gardeners alike.

When it comes to watering, African violets need just enough to keep the soil moist without drowning the roots. Over-watering is one of the most common mistakes made when caring for these flowers, so be sure to err on the side of caution. Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out before watering again.

African violets also prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's important to find a spot that gets plenty of light but isn't in direct sun. If you live in a particularly sunny climate, you may need to position your African violets near a sheer curtain or other light-filtering material to protect them from the harsh rays.

If you want your African violets to bloom all year round, it's important to deadhead the spent blooms regularly. This encourages the plant to produce new buds and keep blooming.
