The Torch Glow Bougainvillea is a unique and eye-catching variety of bougainvillea known for its upright, tree-like growth habit. Unlike traditional bougainvilleas that sprawl or climb, Torch Glow grows vertically, resembling a torch or column. It produces clusters of vibrant magenta-pink bracts that surround small white flowers, creating a striking contrast against its dark green foliage. This upright form makes it ideal for use as a hedge, accent plant, or container specimen, especially in areas where space is limited but color is desired.
Highly suited for warm climates, Torch Glow Bougainvillea thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning to shape and control size. Hardy in USDA zones 9–11, it can also be grown in pots and brought indoors in colder regions. Its bold color, compact form, and low water needs make it a favorite for xeriscaping and modern landscapes where dramatic visual impact and efficiency are both priorities.
