Bougainvillea Glabra ‘Penelope’, commonly known as White Bougainvillea, is an elegant and vigorous ornamental climber prized for its pure white bracts that create a soft, luminous floral display. These papery bracts surround small white flowers, producing a refined and long-lasting contrast against the plant’s deep green foliage. It is ideal for brightening walls, fences, pergolas, and large landscape features with a clean, classic aesthetic.

Highly drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, this bougainvillea thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, especially in warm climates. It responds well to pruning and can be shaped as a climber, hedge, or feature shrub depending on landscape needs. With its graceful colouring, strong growth, and resilience, Bougainvillea Glabra ‘Penelope’ is a timeless choice for tropical and water-wise garden designs.
