I'm not familiar with podranea - it's beautiful! I'm celebrating today - the first time I've been out digging in the dirt & planting in the ground! I will plant a little bit tomorrow & the next day & again next weekend & the following weekend (gotta' take it easy on my back). I was so excited about the prospect of planting that I woke up before daylight today! LOL!
Zuzu, is your Tibouchini out in the open or near a wall, fence, overhang, etc.? I bought one a couple of weeks ago, because I can't live without one & I'm hoping it will be okay with some shelter...
