A Wave of Tropical Purple Flowers
The Tibouchina, or Princess Flower, will add a hint of the tropics and plenty of color to your yard. The flowers are a bright, almost neon purple, containing 5 petals and long purple stamens. The plant is covered in evergreen, narrow, and soft hairy leaves.
A heavy bloomer, the Tibouchina blooms from early spring to early summer in most climates. Once established, it’s relatively low maintenance and requires only supplemental watering during warm temperatures. This plant also attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
Originally found in tropical rainforests, the Princess Flower grows as a broadleaf evergreen in warm climates where it is hardy. Other climates can grow it in a container, bringing it inside to overwinter the plant. It has a natural round shape that makes it perfect as a border or accent plant.

Trouble in Paradise
It was doing so when I received it from your nursery. However it went on to have a near death experience. In the past 3 days, I’ve seen some new growth This plant needs sunshine but not 100 degree weather. I have moved it to a location that gets morning sunshine but is protected from the hot late afternoon sun.
