Tibouchina ‘Peace Baby’

Common Name:
Glory Bush 'Peace Baby'

Description:
Tibouchina ‘Peace Baby’ is a compact, evergreen flowering shrub renowned for its crisp white blooms and lush, velvety foliage. A dwarf selection from the Tibouchina family, ‘Peace Baby’ brings elegance and contrast to gardens with its pure white flowers that emerge from soft pink buds, creating a subtle two-tone effect. Flowering begins in late summer and continues well into autumn, offering a refreshing change from the more common purple Tibouchinas. The rich green leaves are softly textured and provide year-round interest even when the plant is not in bloom. Ideal for Melbourne’s climate, this variety prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It's particularly well-suited to pots, small gardens, and border plantings. Light pruning after flowering helps to maintain its neat, rounded shape. 'Peace Baby' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a tropical look in a smaller, manageable form.
