I am growing a violet and white bouganvilliea along a fence trellis,
but
does anyone know how far from the parent plant this can be done?



I have seen them spread 8 m or more but if you want to cover a long
fence you will get a better and quicker result with several plants (say)
4-5 m apart.

What does your neighbour think of the thorny leaders heading over the
fence?
