price

Tibouchina clavata is a beautiful plant Native to Brazil. Known as the Bears Ear Glory bush, it has striking purple flowers and lush green leaves. It's similar to Tibouchina multiflora (or grandiflora) but has more delicate, longer leaves and thinner branches. This plant loves warm weather and adds a tropical touch to your garden, whether you plant it in the ground or in a pot. Grows into 5-7 foot showy shrub with silvery green, pubescent leaves. It blooms spring, summer, and fall with clusters of purple flowers about 1½ inches across. Stamens with distinctive long, eyelash-like appendages. Needs some pruning to shape and plenty of light to bloom. Takes both sun or shade, but the more light, the more flowers.
