Bougainvillea glabra is an evergreen climbing plant with thorny stems, native to South America. In Britain it's grown as a houseplant, typically in sunny, humid conservatories and greenhouses, where conditions mimic those of its native subtropical habitat.

Bougainvillea 'Pedro' is a compact bougainvillea with fewer thorns than the species. It bears clusters of tiny white flowers surrounded by brick-red bracts.

For best results grow Bougainvillea 'Pedro' in a large container. When pruning, cut back side shoots to three to four buds. Feed with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser when it comes into growth in spring, followed by a potash-rich fertiliser when the flower buds appear. Protect from frost and water sparingly in winter.
