What Makes Brunfelsia Varieties Special?

Brunfelsia varieties are prized for their profuse blooms and lush, evergreen foliage. Each flower undergoes a colour transformation over several days, which inspired the common name "Yesterday Today and Tomorrow." Most brunfelsia varieties are easy to grow, thriving in semi-shaded spots with well-draining soil. Their gentle fragrance, attractive blossoms, and relatively low maintenance needs make them a top pick for both experienced gardeners and those just starting their plant journey.

Popular Brunfelsia Varieties for New Zealand Gardens

Choosing the right brunfelsia can make all the difference in your garden’s appearance and scent. Here are some of the most popular brunfelsia varieties available:

Growing and Caring for Brunfelsia Varieties

Most brunfelsia varieties enjoy sheltered, partially shaded garden positions where they’re protected from harsh midday sun and winter frosts. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage vigorous regrowth. Remember, while these shrubs are beautiful, most parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so position with care if you have pets or young children.
