Tibuchina and Palm . . . .
with Dragon Wing Begonia.
This combination in a pot is just lovely together. Trailing down the side of the pot is an ivy plus 'Creeping Jenny.'
The tibuchina leaves are thick and fuzzy for a tropical. Loving lots of sun (and food thru the growing season) they are one of my summer favorites.
Sidebar: In 1991, I bought one for my sister, Cathy & her husband, Keith for their new house in Boca Raton, Florida. It was a different variety of tibuchina & grew to tree size in no time at all.
It is also known as a 'Princess Tree.'
