Tibouchina urvilleana 'Variegata'
13th July 2017
The naughty purple Brazillian poppet is almost hardy in gardens and quite delightful, but it has a variegated form.
Wonder upon wonder, but sadly it is less hardy. I have resisted its charms for several years, knowing that disappointment will inevitably follow
a stunning summer. Then I was given a rooted cutting so time to make the best of the good weather and pretend that winter will never happen.
