Lavender Star Flower
Large shrub/small
tree up to 10' in height if planted in the ground. Also very good as a potted
plant and can be trained as a
bonsai specimen. The flowers have a very nice color combination. Lavender
petals with yellow stamens in the center. Flowers
appear most of the year. The plant will grow well in full to partial sun.
It requires average water and fertilizer. Even though it can
handle a light frost, it will be better to keep it above freezing.
