Its flowers change from purple to lavender blue to white from bud to full bloom in 3 days. There are 3 colours on the plant at any one time. Beginners like me find this shrub easy to grow and the results are quick. These beautiful pansy-like flowers smells nice too.
Changing hues to reflect a person's changing moods. Isn't it intriguing and flirtatious? The whole plant looks nice in the container. Like a beautiful lady sitting down elegantly.
Wow, that is stunning. I have never seen one like it. beth http://www.iflorist.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have a plant that has blooms of three different colors! Thanks for showing it to us!
ReplyDeleteBeth, Tatyana,
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for dropping by. I guess you may be able to grow this in your garden too. If successful, do tell me about it. Cheers!
I also have 2 pots of YTT (short form of its name) but they don't bloom as much as yours do. Your plants look really beautiful!
