Tibouchina 'Groovy Baby' is a very compact form of Tibouchina, growing into a dense shrub 45cm tall and 45cm wide. Small velvety textured dark green leaves with seasonal coppery tones, disappear in autumn and spring as a riot of large vibrant purple single flowers cover the plant.
Groovy Baby is ideal for protected gardens, borders, rockeries or planted in containers. Preferring slightly acidic soil in a sunny to partly shaded area, requiring regular watering during the growing season. Protect from strong winds, cold and frosts. Prune back after flowering to promote new growth. Fertilise with a good all round fertiliser, and mulch in autumn and spring.
