Rich, royal purple flowers about 3 inches wide with 5 petals over a long season. A gorgeous, open shrub that is worth coddling in a pot. Prune in late winter to control size; it will bloom on either this year's or last year's growth. In ideal, tropical outdoor conditions, this shrub can reach 10-20 feet tall and 6-12 feet wide and can spread via underground suckers, but it makes a wonderful container specimen in harsh climates with winter storage in a non-freezing greenhouse or sunroom.

Compared to T. urvilleana, Tibouchina 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.

Minimum temperature: 30° F

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.
