Thanks for info re Tibouchina -- yes, it is spelt with an 'a' Chances are that it had suffered too much cold before being sheltered. A lovely plant and was quite the star of our garden./

I've seen it flourishing in the Canary Islands - that's the temperatures it likes. Cliffo is right about its tenderness, I'm afraid - and I spell it with an 'a' on the end, too!

If you do get another one, it needs to come indoors or in a warm greenhouse in the autumn well before the temperatures drop, to be safe.
