| Worthy of its common name and It’s RHS Award of Garden Merit the glory bush has beautiful, softly hairy leaves and very large rich violet-purple flowers with black stamens. Almost hardy, tibouchina needs some protection in winter and can ultimately grow large, happy to be pruned heavily to keep compact though. Flowers continuously through summer and autumn and worth every effort. |
