Tibouchina ‘Groovy Baby’

Common Name:
Groovy Baby Princess Flower

Description:
Tibouchina ‘Groovy Baby’ is a compact, low-growing evergreen shrub adored for its bold, electric purple blooms and lush, velvety foliage with a silvery sheen. This dwarf variety of Tibouchina has been specially bred for modern gardens, offering the same flamboyant floral display as its larger cousins in a much smaller form. It flowers prolifically from spring through to late autumn, lighting up garden beds, borders, and containers with vibrant colour. ‘Groovy Baby’ thrives in Melbourne’s climate when positioned in full sun to part shade and sheltered from heavy frost. It prefers well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering during hot, dry spells. Easy to maintain and naturally rounded in habit, a light prune after flowering will keep the plant tidy and encourage dense new growth. Ideal for small gardens, patios, and anywhere long-lasting colour is needed.
