Want to grow and develop your own bonsai without starting from seed or a cutting? Our young Lavender Star Flower (Grewia occidentalis) starters give you a head start while leaving plenty of opportunity to shape the tree as it grows.
Lavender Star Flower is prized for its small leaves, fine branching, and prolific lavender-pink blooms. These little trees flower throughout the summer and are a favorite of the bees on our farm. Individual flowers are short-lived, but there always seems to be another one opening.
Each starter already has multiple small branches, and the main trunk has been wired to introduce movement. These are young plants intended for continued development, giving you the opportunity to guide their future form.
We treat our starters like young bonsai, including early root work and root cutback. We vouch for the health and vigor of our plants, and these trees should grow and improve readily with attentive care.
Lavender Star Flower prefers full sun and consistent moisture. Water regularly and do not allow the soil to dry out completely. Protect it from temperatures below 32°F.
Container: 3.3-inch plastic nursery pot
Trunk size: Up to approximately ⅛ inch, smaller than a pencil
Development stage: Young starter material, not a finished bonsai
