I bought this beautiful Bougainvillea in Florida a couple of weeks ago.
Its hardy and really for outdoors. But I knew I couldn't plant here in
NYC where I live because of the seasons. I was hopeing that if I keep
it in a container and restrain its growth, I could appreciate it each
spring and summmer. Is this possible with this plant? Do I have to keep
pruning it to keep it curtailed?

My mother has one in NE KY. She keeps it under fluorescent lighting (in her
house) in the winter and puts it out in the summer. She's had it for
several years.
