Orange-Red Bougainvillea 'Flame' Plants

Add a burst of tropical fire to your garden or patio with the Bougainvillea Flame. Known for its vibrant orange-red bracts that resemble glowing flames, this vigorous climbing vine instantly transforms fences, pergolas, trellises, or containers into dazzling displays of color.

Unlike many flowering plants that have short bloom cycles, Bougainvillea Flame is prized for its extended blooming season, often providing color from spring through fall and nearly year-round in frost-free climates. Its fiery bracts surround delicate white flowers, creating a brilliant contrast that adds warmth and energy to any outdoor space.

Mature plants can reach 8–12 feet when grown in the ground or 4–6 feet in containers, depending on pruning and support. This makes them incredibly versatile: train them as climbing vines, shape them into bushy shrubs, or let them spill beautifully from hanging baskets. Whether you’re decorating a patio, balcony, or garden, Bougainvillea Flame delivers bold, tropical impact.

Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11, Bougainvillea Flame thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It’s drought-tolerant once established, requiring little water, and resists most common pests—making it an easy-care favorite. In cooler regions, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors during winter.
