Bambino Jellibene has variegated leaves and profuse clear scarlet bracts and incomplete flowers. It requires a warm sunny position and regular light pruning all over. Remove any strong shoots as they appear. Bambino Bougs are a range of smaller growing bougainvilleas that are ideally suited to container growing, topiary, small hedges and smaller gardens. They need no sprays and are hardy once established.
