Please excuse me if this is not the right newsgroup, but I recently saw
some
beautiful Bougainvilla in Kefalonia, Greece. Has anyone managed to grow
this plant in the United Kingdom north of Watford. If so can you offer me
any advice.

There are a couple outside around the coast in Cornwall and some in the
Torbay area, they will take dry cold in winter so are doable under glass but
out side you need an overhang as well as a sunny south wall and a place in
the far south and west. If you are determined to try, choose a red or purple
variety not orange or yellow and avoid variegated or double plants (all of
which are more tender)
