Why Contractors Come to Gulfroot
Tibouchina urvilleana produces some of the most intense purple flowers of any tropical tree in SWFL cultivation. Landscape architects and designers specify it by name for estate and resort projects where they need a dramatic flowering focal point. It is almost impossible to find at SWFL retail nurseries or through standard distributors. Specialty Homestead growers maintain stock — Gulfroot can source in quantity.
SWFL Field Performance
Zone 9b–11. Full sun to part shade. Moderate water. Fast-growing in SWFL heat — can reach 12–15 ft. Blooms heavily in fall and winter. Semi-evergreen; may partially defoliate in cold snaps. Prune after bloom cycles to maintain compact form. Provide iron supplementation in alkaline soils — common in SWFL.
Direct from Homestead — not through a distributor.
