Bougainvillea Aggressive Growth: Prune to Contain, Not Invasive

Heard bougainvillea takes over other plants. True?

Reality

Aggressive grower — smothers neighbors if unpruned.
Not invasive — doesn't root-run or allelopathically kill.
Solution: Hard prune regularly. Keep in bounds.

Managed = stunning. Neglected = garden bully.
