Tibouchina Edwardsii Princess Flower has large 7-8 cm royal purple blossoms crowning its rich, velvety leaves in abundance. The royal blue flowers are almost iridescent. It reliably blooms in late summer through and can flower intermittently year-round if given high light.

It is a spectacular specimen tree especially when flowering. The leaves are rich green and large making it useful as a screening plant. It grows to about 1.5 - 2 m tall and 1 m wide. It prefers full sun, well drained soils and warm sites. It will not tolerate frost. It responds well to a prune and application of fertiliser after flowering.

You are bidding on a potted plant about 30-45 cm tall. Some may have to be trimmed back for shipping unless they can be successfully bent over. This will encourage them to branch. Plants are in 9 cm pots. They are a mix of single stemmed and branched.
