Raspberry Ice Bougainvillea is a stunning compact vine with a cascading habit and variegated leaves with cream edges. Clusters of intense raspberry-pink bracts bloom throughout the warmer months. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. Raspberry Ice is more hardy and can be used as a climber or for hanging baskets. Evergreen in frost-free environments.
