Brunfelsia

1. Color-Changing Blooms: Flowers transition from purple to lavender to white, often referred to as the "yesterday, today, and tomorrow" plant.

2. Fragrant Flowers: Emits a sweet fragrance, especially during the evening hours.

3. Evergreen Foliage: Glossy, dark green leaves provide year-round visual interest.

Care:

• Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; in hot climates, provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch.

• Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil; water regularly, especially during hot spells, but ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot.

• Soil: Prefers humus-rich, slightly acidic, well-draining soils.

• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 60-80°F (16-27°C); sensitive to frost and should be protected or brought indoors in cooler climates.

• Humidity: Benefits from high humidity; consider misting the plant or placing it on a humidity tray if grown indoors.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, acid-forming fertilizer in early spring and again in summer to promote healthy growth and flowering.

• Pruning: Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth; removing spent flowers can promote additional blooming.

Ideal For:

• Garden Settings: Suitable for use as hedges, foundation plantings, or specimen plants in gardens.

• Containers: Can be grown in pots, making it versatile for patios or indoor spaces; ensure adequate drainage and appropriate pot size.

• Attracting Wildlife: The fragrant blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.
