Tibouchina
Tibouchina (Tibouchina spp.), also commonly known as Princess Flower or Glory Bush, is a tropical to subtropical ornamental prized for its rich purple blooms and velvety green foliage. It is commonly grown as a flowering shrub or small tree and is often used as a focal plant in landscapes where bold color and texture are desired. In North Florida, Tibouchina performs best in protected locations and adds dramatic seasonal color during its bloom period.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to part sun
• Water: Moderate; water regularly, especially during establishment
• Pruning: Light pruning after flowering to maintain shape and encourage branching
• Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season
