Description
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow – Brunfelsia pauciflora ‘Eximia’ is a beautiful, fragrant flowering shrub famous for its unusual colour-changing blooms. The flowers open in a rich purple, gradually fade through lavender, and finally turn white, often creating a spectacular display of all three colours on the plant at the same time.
This evergreen, medium-sized shrub is an excellent choice for adding colour, fragrance and structure to the garden. It can grow to approximately 2–2.5m tall and is particularly attractive planted near patios, entrances or entertainment areas where its fragrant flowers can be appreciated.
