Bougainvillea Comm. ex Juss. attracted much attention all over the world due to its ornamental, medicinal and commercial importance. In India, many national research institutes has carried out research for development of different varieties. As a result, a large number of new cultivars have been developed in India. Hybridization, chemical mutagens and tissue culture are common methods of propagation and variety development in Bougainvillea but unfortunately, scientist have not paid much attention towards grafting methods for multicolour Bougainvillea flowering on a single plant. The author have working since many years on multicolour Bougainvillea with Tender Twig Grafting (TTG) with more than 75% success rate. This paper dealt with the practical approach and technique used for the development of ornamentally much demanded multicolor flowering of Bougainvillea on single stock.
