A species with grayer, more velvety leaves, glory flower (Tibouchina grandiflora) is smaller than glory bush.
It usually reaches 5 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide in USDA zones 9 through 11, although it can grow to 10 feet tall.
Its smaller, royal purple flowers occur in spring, summer, and fall in showy panicles, which are loosely-branching clusters of flowers, atop flower stalks that rise above the foliage.
Cut off the old flower stalks to showcase the striking foliage when the plant is not in bloom.
