Glory Bush

Glory Bush (Tibouchina urvilleana) can grow up to a whopping 20 feet tall. Other names for this plant include Princess Flower, Pleroma, and Purple Glory tree. This plant's showy flowers are a beautiful purple and feature striking black stamens. Many Bay Area gardeners plant Glory bush because of its tolerance to drought and its tendency to attract pollinators. Butterflies are especially drawn to this plant, though birds and bees also frequent the blooms.
