The Lavender Star Flower (Grewia occidentalis) is a lovely tropical tree that rewards its keeper with starry purple blooms. Easy-going and quick to please, it brings a rare splash of color to any bonsai collection.
One-of-a-kind tree: the bonsai pictured is the exact tree you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team and planted in a 5" glazed rectangle pot.

Shipping & Arrival
To ensure safe delivery, we prefer to ship trees between Monday and Wednesday at the latest, so your bonsai is never caught in an accidental weekend delay. Some leaf drop during shipment is completely normal. If leaves drop in transit, place your tree in a very sunny spot and water only once the topsoil has dried out — take care not to overwater while the tree has few or no leaves.
