Bougainvillea is a climbing, flowering vine or shrub native to Brazil. This tropical perennial gained its nickname, paper flower, for its delicate bracts that come in a variety of colors, including purple, red and orange. When learning how to prune bougainvillea, keep in mind that the more often you prune off dead blooms, the more new blooms your plant will produce. 2  Pinch pruning is easy and quick, and is the best method to use in between pruning with shears.
