Species Description
Lavender star (Grewia occidentalis) is a tropical species appreciated in bonsai for its small leaves, fine branching, and abundant star-shaped purple flowers. It grows quickly in warm conditions, producing both flowers and fruit, which add seasonal interest. With training, it develops dense ramification and a compact canopy, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a flowering bonsai outside of the more common temperate species.

 

Care Notes

  • Not cold-hardy; protect from frost and bring indoors when night temperatures drop below 50°F, but grow outdoors in warm months for best vigor

  • Prefers full sun for strong growth and abundant flowering

  • Moderate water needs, best with consistent moisture but good drainage

  • Responds well to pruning, back-budding readily to help build ramification

  • Known for its star-shaped purple blooms, which appear freely through the growing season in warm conditions
