Tibouchina at its most lovely
Plant of the Day
Thursday 28 November 2024
The purple flowers and velvet foliage of Pleroma urvilleanum (glory bush, purple glory tree, Tibouchina) make this tender perennial an eye catching container plant for the summer but it needs winter protection. The tree will require pruning to keep the plant under control.

#1955 - Pleroma urvilleanum - Glory Bush
AKA Tibouchina urvilleana, lasiandra, princess flower and pleroma. The specific refers to 19th-century French explorer and botanist Jules Dumont d'Urville who explored the south and western Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica. The plant, on the other hand, is from Brazil.
Yet another ornamental left to its own devices at Lake Mangamahoe. Naturalised in NZ since 1977, and a weed in Queensland, Australia.

Reaching for the sky by crafty1tutu (Ann) A Tibouchina flower on the top of the tree. My Tibouchina has grown way too high (around 12 feet) and really needs to be trimmed. This is a flower that is at the top of the tree. https://flic.kr/p/2j6rdMt
