A classic garden favourite, the 'Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow' is a prolific flowering shrub that's at home in both in the ground and as a pot specimen. The flowers start off as a deep purple, then fades to a light purple on the second day and finally as a pure white on the final day. The flowers are also produced in sucession so there's a constant flush of flowers in spring and early summer. Plant them in full sun or semi-shade in compost enriched soil and keep evenly moist during the dry summer months.

Prunning

Prune Brunfelsia pauciflora 'Floribunda' lightly after the flowering period to maintain its shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can also help to promote bushier growth and encourage more blooms.
