Special Notes: Bugambilia are very popular ornamental plants in the warmer areas of the Earth. Many reasons include its extroadinary color, its drought resistance and its high salt tolerance which makes it a top choice for coastal regions too. This particular plant is also able to stand up alone and is planted many times along walls, fences, hanging baskets, and as hedges.
