Tibouchina Lepidota Alstonville - 20cm

Tibouchina Lepidota Alstonville suits gardeners who want lush foliage and a striking purple flowering display in a plant that is practical to place and maintain. As a flowering evergreen shrub or small tree, it has a natural role in feature planting, screening and warm subtropical-style gardens and can add useful contrast to surrounding foliage, flowering plants or hard landscaping. Plant it in full sun to light part shade in a protected spot with fertile, well-drained soil with reliable moisture. Once settled, its established habit does much of the work visually, so it can be used confidently in everyday garden designs without needing constant intervention or highly specialised treatment.
