Notes
Purple glory tree (Pleroma granulosum) is an evergreen shrub for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It can reach 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, so give it room. Flowers can appear in any season.
Pairs well with Jacaranda, Peach Drift rose, and Frozen Queen calla lily.
