In MN it is a tender plant, mostly grown in planters or hanging baskets outdoors needing temperatures above freezing and full son!
In AZ it grows in the ground like a bush or sprawls like ground cover or climbs on supports such as a trellis.
Interesting, last year I saw near freezing temps hit a Bougainvillea, while I was here, which resulted in needing to trim it back to bare stems almost to the ground. It was also of interest to watch it rebound later in full glory and the next year was back it's former size, etc.
It is recommended as a easy plant for desert climates that blooms almost 11 months of the year. Drought tolerant, loves full sun, and provides beautiful color to landscapes and gardens.
