Princess Flower

About this plant

The Princess Flower, or Tibouchina Urvilleana, is a stunning evergreen shrub celebrated for its opulent, fuchsia-purple flowers. These broad petals, often accented by contrasting white stamens, create a dramatic visual impact throughout its extended bloom period, typically from summer into fall. Its velvety, deeply veined leaves provide an attractive backdrop, maintaining interest even when not in flower. With its graceful, somewhat sprawling habit, the Princess Flower makes an excellent specimen plant, a vibrant addition to mixed borders, or a captivating container plant for patios and courtyards. Beyond its undeniable beauty, this shrub offers a lush, tropical feel, making it a favorite for those seeking to create an exotic garden aesthetic. Though originating from tropical regions, with proper care, it adapts well to a variety of warm climates.

Care & maintenance

Princess Flowers thrive in warm, humid conditions. Protect from frost. Pruning after the main flush of blooms can encourage a bushier habit and more flowers. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a balanced, acid-loving plant food.
