Description:
Tibouchina Chameleon is a dense, fast growing evergreen shrub which is covered in a spectacular display of multi-coloured flowers in spring and autumn. Additional flower flushes occur throughout the remainder of the year. The flowers open almost a pure white, with just a slight mauve blush. They then change to mauve, followed by a deep pink. The overall effect is one of many flowers on the same plant, and hence the name - Chameleon. Grows 2m tall x 1.8m wide. May also be available in standard form.
