Solanum rantonnetii ? A Worthy Substitute For Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is a much loved and admired plant, but can be terribly problematical to maintain. Here is a possible alternative.
If you are one of those people who would love a Bougainvillea in your garden, but are put off by its thorns, mess, and untidiness, then you may wish to consider planting Solanum rantonnetii as a replacement. Solanum rantonnetii is a medium to large shrub that has either white or deep purple flowers. While there are a number of Bougainvillea varieties, whose *flower* color include different hues of red and orange, purple is still the color most popularly associated with the plant.
