Purple torch bush looking magnificent to start your week. It’s another one of those plants that seem to have been reclassified. #purple #purpleflowers #purplebush #purpletorch #bartlettinasordida #eupatorium #lumix #fz300 #flowersofinstagram #shadelovingplants (at Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTdMfU2BbFm/?utm_medium=tumblr
Plant of the Day
Sunday 17 March 2019
The Bartlettina sordida (purple torch, blue mist flower) comes from the cloud forests of Mexico. In the U.K. it is a tender plant, not able to survive the cold winters, and so was flowering in the glasshouses of Cambridge Botanic Gardens, UK. This evergreen shrub has strong stems and large leaves about 20cms long. In spring large pale purple flower heads are produced with a fragrance of lilac and honey.
