Tibouchina Skylab
Give this intensely purple climbing tibouchina a support, or shrub as a leg-up, and it will scramble skywards to 2m. Needs a frost-free garden where it will bloom vibrantly through winter in the richest colour.
Fun fact, kids: Skylab was a NASA space station, which fell to earth in Australia in 1979.

Tibouchina laxa 'Skylab'
APPEARANCE : An unusual climbing tibouchina with vibrant purple flowers and neat slightly hairy leaves. Stems are scrambling rather than self-clinging, so may need tying in to a trellis or wires.
USE FOR : Borders, pots, up trellis or arbours, along a fence or through a green hedge. Will clip to a low shrub - but why would you want to when there are compact tibouchinas available instead?
PLANTING : Plant in free draining acid soil in a sunny-partly shaded location. Best flowering is achieved in full sun.
CARE : Mulch and water regularly during the first 12 weeks or until the plant is established. Prune as required neat growth habit. Feed with a controlled release fertiliser yearly, provide additional water during dry periods and protect from frost.
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 2.5m H x 1 m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These plants are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
