The tops were about 2 feet long, and the color really looks outstanding against the Thryallis planted around it.
The plant itself, started as a 3 foot high plant in a 3 gallon plant, and planted in a south facing bed, getting 1/2 day of sun. The plant stands around 7 feet tall now.
Tibs typically bloom from mid-summer to as late as early December, and the blooms are very long lasting.
Once the blooms are done, we recommend cutting the stems back to produce a bushier look for the next season.
We will have Tibouchinas for sale at market this weekend !
Speaking of Market, we are blessed that we are still getting great crowds out to the summer market in Williams Park. Everyone is enjoying the great produce, foods and plants. Our good friend, Chef Michael, of the popular Michael's Extraordinary Desserts is at market for the month of August and we are so happy to see him, Nancy and all their yummy breads, cakes and desserts.
Our latest crop of Butterfly Wing (Christia obcordata) is ready and will be bringing lots of them to market tomorrow too.
