Questions on Tibouchina urvilleana
Asked on 3 Oct, 2008 1 reply
My wife recently purchased a Tibouchina plant and wants to plant it in a corner of our fence where a Bradford Pear once stood (before Hurricane Ike). This location is located on the northwest corner of our house and doesn't get a full day of sun. Will this location be a problem? What other tips would you suggest to make it grow?

My Tibouchina has 3 flowers (hurray), but is more than 2 ft tall (in my greenhouse); is it OK to cut it back when flowering is over?

Yes! In fact it prefers it. You will get far more branching and thus many more flowers if you do.
Cut low but leave at least a leaf growing below the cut when you do it. Not sure if this is technically the correct thing to do but we did it with all of ours at the nursery and they flowered beautifully!

Judy, this plant is quite tender, so it depends on your climate and temperatures of course - but it is needs sunshine and warmth and in the UK would probably be grown outside for the summer only and then taken indoors. Not knowing where you are in the USA, I don't know whether it would survive your winter.
