Bougainvillea 'Scarlet O'Hara', known for its vibrant scarlet blooms, is a show-stopping climbing plant perfect for adding colour and wow-factor to New Zealand gardens. The scarlet bougainvillea thrives in our sunny climates, producing masses of fiery red bracts through the warmer months. With its vigorous growth and dramatic trailing habit, it's a popular choice for covering fences, trellises, and pergolas—or even cultivated as a striking container plant. If you’re seeking a low-maintenance climber that delivers maximum impact with minimal fuss, the scarlet bougainvillea is a top pick.
Bougainvillea 'Scarlet O'Hara'
Bougainvillea 'Scarlet O'Hara' is a vigorous climber that produces magnificent, rich red flowers. In cool climates it flowers during summer only, but in warmer climates it may flower throughout the year and remain evergreen. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide, but is usually trimmed to control growth. Bougainvillea 'Scarlet O'Hara' is perfect for training over an arch or gazebo, or allowing to ramble along a fence. Where it doesn’t have a support structure, it will grow as a groundcover and can be used for planting on a bank or the like.
