  • Brunfelsia pauciflora, commonly known as Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, is a unique and charming shrub known for its ever changing flowers and rich fragrance. This plant puts on a beautiful display of blooms that open deep purple, fade to lavender, and eventually turn soft white, all at the same time. The result is a layered mix of color that gives the plant a constantly shifting look through its bloom cycle.
  • Flowering typically occurs in late winter through spring, with occasional blooms appearing throughout the year in mild climates. The flowers are lightly fragrant, especially in the evening, making this a great choice near patios, walkways, or entryways where the scent can be enjoyed up close.
  • The foliage is dense and deep green, providing a lush backdrop that contrasts nicely with the colorful blooms. Brunfelsia works well as a small shrub in garden beds, as part of a mixed border, or even in containers where its flowers can be featured more prominently.
  • This plant prefers partial shade, especially in warmer inland areas, and thrives in well drained soil with regular watering. It appreciates consistent moisture but should not be overwatered. Protection from harsh afternoon sun will help keep the foliage looking its best and extend the life of the blooms.
  • Brunfelsia pauciflora typically grows 3 to 6 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, full shape with minimal pruning. It is best suited for USDA zones 9 through 11 and should be protected from frost.
  • All parts of this plant are considered toxic if ingested, including the berries, so it is best planted with care around pets and small children.
  • With its color changing flowers, soft fragrance, and lush foliage, Yesterday Today and Tomorrow is a memorable addition to the garden that brings both beauty and a bit of curiosity to any space.
