Also known as 'Carmencita' and 'Mahara Red' or 'Princess Mahara'. Whatever the name, it has huge piles of soft, distinctively pointy shaped blooms that are a wonderful dark pinky red purple colour. They do well in containers and the blooms last very well. A must have for the 'boutique Bougainvillea' collector.
