Can I grow a bougainvillea in zone 8 and have it come back each year?

Absolutely not, if you are using Sunset Western Garden Books' zones. Use zones 10-10A USDA zones. Bougainvillea are susceptible to frost damage almost above freezing regardless what your Nurseryman tells you. They come from the Ilsle of Bougainville %26amp; are extremely tender. Have a look.

It looks like it is hardy to zone 9a.





USDA Zone 9a: to -6.6° C (20° F)
