Brunfelsia Varieties Available in NZ

Growing and Caring for Brunfelsia in NZ

Brunfelsia enjoys a semi-shaded to sunny position, thriving in rich, moist, well-draining soil. Protect your brunfelsia from cold southern winds and winter chills – these plants are happiest in coastal or northern regions of NZ, or in glasshouses further south. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Regular watering in summer and a light feed in spring will help your brunfelsia burst into flower. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
