Bougainvillea Propagation: Cuttings, Not Seeds

Where do you get seeds from a bougainvillea plant?

No Seeds—Use Cuttings

Bougainvillea is propagated vegetatively from cuttings, not seeds. Many ornamental plants don't produce viable seeds or don't come true from seed. Take 6-inch softwood cuttings, strip lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, root in moist media under humidity. This is standard for bougainvillea and many tropical ornamentals.
