Pleroma semidecandrum
Also called Lasiandra, Princess Flower
Pleroma semidecandrum, commonly known as princess flower, glory bush, or lasiandra, is a flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae, native to southeast Brazil.
They can tolerate the shade but will not thrive. Princess-Flower is ideal for the mixed shrubbery border or used in small groupings to compound the impact of bloom-time.
Nematodes can affect Tibouchina and over watering can contribute to mushroom root-rot. It can be trimmed to any size and still put on a vivid, year-long flower display.
Pleroma semidecandrum contains the dimeric ellagitannin nobotanin B.
