Princess flower is also called tibouchina. Athens Blue dwarf tibouchina has purple flowers from late spring through fall.
Plants reach 24-20 inches in the landscape by fall with an equal spread. Plants are not generally considered cold hardy but will return from the winter in the warmer regions of south Louisiana.
Plants prefer full to partial sun in order to bloom best. These do not need a lot of fertilizer and are low water users in the landscape. Dwarf tibouchina is also a nice container option.
