Can you grow Bougainvillea outside in the uk??
If so which varities and what sort of conditions do they need

Only in the summer, full sun needed. Otherwise during the winter keep in
a
frost free and very light place and keep on the dry side.
Friend has a small collection which he deals with in that way and they
seem
to thrive.
We have two in pots in the Conservatory here in Cornwall. OK outisde
in the summer, and then back inside. I don't think they'd prosper
outside permamently, even here in Cornwall.

I suppose you might just get away with it tucked into one of those South
facing valleys down there but I doubt it.
I wonder if Dave Poole has them growing in his garden. :-)
Dave, where are you?
