I'm in Sonoma County and don't know exactly which nursery you can try. But if someone cannot give you an specific nursery name, then call some and ask if they have it. If they don't have them in stock, ask if they can do a special order for one. They do special orders all the time and will most likely be able to get one within a week or so.





Good luck!
Reply:Bougainvillea are a warm weather plant and they do not handle frost and cold all that well. I have 2 of them in my yard. Both of them took about 6 months to recover after the frosts/freeze that we had in February of 2007 in San Diego county. If the frosts had continued for another 2 weeks, I think we would have lost them. By the way, our "frosts" were 25 degrees at night followed by 60 degree days.





I really do not know San Francisco's climate, so I would suggest that you do a bit more research on the plant to see if it will survive your climate. If the local nurseries do not sell them, that may be an indication that the plant is not suitable for the area.
