AKA True Blue, Darwin Blue
Similar but not the same as Lilac Clouds, has rounder petals. Originally from Papua New Guinea. She has medium to large flowers which emerge purple then quickly fade to a beautiful Lavender/lilac colour before fading to an enticing pale greyish pink. Likes semi shade. I love this one
Full sun
At least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
