    Hi! I need help identifying a plant that I saw in a container on a Philadelphia street. I would LOVE to know what it is. Thank you! ~Malie

    I don't think it is, but maybe a different kind than I have. Dooley

    I think it is a Princess Flower (Tibouchina urvilleana). I don't think that is hardy in Philly.

    I just did a google search and you are right digital flower, that is exactly what it is. It is hardy in zones 9b-11, not native to the United States and can be used as a container plant. In the ground it will get 15-20 ft tall, but can be kept trimmed to any size.

    It must just be used as a summer plant in Philadelphia because they get snow in winter. Dooley
