If you're looking for an elegant dose of tropical-ness to inject into your garden, then consider this beauty. Large, green leaves (up to 6 inches long) that have a fuzzy coating and silver undersides that will remain evergreen if provided protection from freezes. In summer or fall, depending on the local temperatures, flower spikes up to 15 inches long burst forth with copious purple-blue blooms, each about 1.5 inches across.

If you live in an area with cold winters, then consider planting this in a large pot that you can move indoors when temperatures dip towards & below 30° F.

Compared to Tibouchina urvilleana, T. heteromalla has bigger leaves and smaller flowers, though the flower spikes of T. heteromalla are much longer with more blooms per spike. The purple blooms on T. urvilleana lean toward fuchsia, whereas the blooms on T. heteromalla lean blue.

Mature size: 4-10 ft T x 4-8 ft W

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
