BRUNFELSIA AUSTRALIS
Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
A
variety of Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow with fragrant flowers.
Flowers start dark purple then fade to lavender then to almost white.
All 3 colors are displayed on 1 plant simultaneously.
This shrub will do well in any location between full sun to filtered
light. Avoid too much shade.
It blooms for a long time during the warm weather.
The
plant produces the flowers at the end of the new growth, therefore
the more branches you have the more flowers you get. To accomplish
that, the plant should be trimmed in order to achieve a round shape
which can be done anytime of the year, except between September and
November when the flowers start to develop and open.
The plant will survive temperatures in the low 30°s for short
periods.
The soil needs to be a little bit on the acidic side.
