Wholesale Tibouchina Or Lasiandra Nurseries
Tibouchina are also known as Lasiandra and are a favourite flower shrub with many well known cultivars offered by wholesalers.
A fairly adaptable plant that will grow from Queensland through to Victoria and is popular in all of these areas. Although they are native to South America they have been adopted by many Australian gardeners as a ‘go to’ flowering plant.
An old favourite is ‘Alstonville’ however landscapers are now blessed with lower growing or dwarf varieties that add more versatility to planting schemes.
