Tibouchina urvilleana - Glory Bush

What intense colour...and for such a long time as well.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pimpernel:

Yes, it has a very bright royal blue or purple flower. They tend to cover the shrub or tree during the peak months.

Alexandramou:

Thought you might like it. :>)

There's most likely a lot of these growing where you live.

Almost bought seeds to this.

I wish there were loads growing here!!!!!!

It grows from cuttings, also.

You don't see any growing outdoors there?

Believe me Delonix, if these grew here I would have one!

LOL! It is a pretty tender shrub.

Oh no....another one for the pots!!!!
I will have this plant.

I have all my Plumeria's re-poted and outside!!! They are loving the sun and the heat!!! (FINALLY)

I've read Tibouchina urvilleana can freeze to the ground and come back from the roots very quickly.

You'll have to post pics of the baby plumerias.

That's good then.....but I really hope we don't a winter like this past one for a very very very long time!

I will post pic of Plumerias soon.

It seems a reasonable price in the Garden Centres here Alex £12.50 at Burncoose...I think we could do better in ebay!

Smiling......I keep checking e-bay Pimpernel....a lot of shops won't ship plants to Greece. I did find seeds from the USA.

Stunning colour again Andy. :o)

Thanks! :>)
