Bougainvillea vs. Mandevilla: Hardiness and Sun Needs

Different genera. Bougainvillea: thorny, woody vine, subtropical (FL, Gulf, AZ, CA, HI). Tolerates brief frost. Mandevilla: tender tropical vine, grown as annual in US. Fails below 60°F.

Both love full sun and water. Bougainvillea is landscape-hardy; Mandevilla is container/annual.
