Lavender Starflower Bonsai with a Broad Canopy and Lavender Blooms

Lavender Starflower Bonsai with a Broad Canopy and Lavender Blooms

This Lavender Starflower has a nice, broad shape with established branching, a sturdy trunk, and plenty of flower buds throughout the canopy. It was photographed in early July while it was actively flowering.

We decided not to prune it because it was continuing to produce flowers, and then I forgot to post it. So, the tree has continued growing since these photographs were taken and will be a little leggier than shown. The trunk and underlying branch structure are the same. It simply has additional growth that can be enjoyed for the flowers or pruned back later to tighten the canopy.

This is the exact Lavender Starflower bonsai you will receive.

• Trunk: A sturdy trunk with a natural, informal shape.

About This Tree

This is a nice flowering tropical bonsai for someone who wants something a little more interesting than a basic green tree. The branching is already in place, the canopy has a naturally wide shape, and the extra summer growth gives the next owner plenty to work with.

You can allow it to continue flowering for a while or prune it back later to create a tighter, more refined silhouette.

Shipping Expectations

Lavender Starflower is known for dropping foliage during shipping. Some trees lose only a few leaves, while others may drop quite a bit. This is normal for the species and does not automatically mean the tree is unhealthy.

Once the tree settles back into warmth and bright light, it will normally begin pushing fresh growth. If you are expecting the tree to arrive looking exactly as it does in the photographs, this may not be the right species for you. It has grown since these photos were taken, and it may also lose foliage during transit.

The trunk, branches, pot, and underlying tree are exactly what you are purchasing.

Care Notes

Lavender Starflower prefers bright light, warmth, and consistent watering. Water thoroughly when the soil begins to approach dryness, but do not keep the tree constantly saturated. This is a tropical species and must be protected from cold temperatures.
