Bouvardia ternifolia
Evergreen, Shrubs
BOUVARDIAPretty clusters of four-petaled tubular flowers appear on relaxed, 2–3-ft.-high plants. One type has fragrant blossoms, but it is also the most tender and looks poorest after flowers are gone. The unscented red-flowered species are hardier, easier togrow. All appreciate well-drained soil, midday shade. To encourage compact growth, prune hard annually after bloom period ends.
