Bouganvilla Substitute
 
I love the Bouganvilla vine, but I live in a somewhat windy Zone 6. No way
to have one in the sunny spot I'd like one. Any suggestions on a good
substitute -- one that gives a good flush of flowers (bracts on the
Bouganvilla, actually)? Something other than Trumpet vine/Morning Glory?

-- Much thanks,

Bouganvilla Substitute
 
Mina lobata
Clematis (many varieties)
Aristolochia
Passiflora
Thunburgia
Solanum jasminoides


So many, not all hardy to your zone, but treated as annuals.
