Tibouchina Alstonville
Rich purple blooms on an evergreen tree to 5m. impressive in full bloom - which often happens in winter as well as the warmer months in our Sunshine Coast nursery. Quick to establish, especially from our tubestock. We grow hedges of this in the nursery and it responds very well to hard pruning.
