Tibouchina urvilleana

A rather twiggy shrubby species from Brazil. For a long time it has been grown as a greenhouse shrub, and always looks best where it gets winter protection, but it has proved to be fairly hardy in the milder parts of the south west.
My plant was a cutting earlier in the spring and it is wintering in a cold greenhouse - if it survives then I will look for a dry sunny place outside to see if it still prospers.
