That's surprising, because it's normal bloom period is from summer - winter...resting in spring.

Well, you do have a conservatory, don't you? :>)

I do, but I prefer to keep it out as long as possible. The leaves exude a waxy substance when shut indoors - I had previously put it down to our tap water.

I didn't know it exuded a waxy substance.

How long can you keep it outside?

Tibouchina urvilleana will tolerate freezing temps for a short period...however, protracted freezing will kill the top to the ground.
