  • 💠 Brunfelsias are truly enchanting tropical flowers. There are two groups - purple-flowered and cream/white-flowered.

  • 💠 All Brunfelsias are wonderfully fragrant.

  • 💠 Perfect flowering shrub for shaded areas; ideal for growing in containers.

  • 💠 Compact and graceful growers.

  • 💠 Purple-flowered are known as Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow for their magical color transformation from purple to lavender to white over three days. Examples: B. grandiflora, B. paucifolia, B. australis.

  • 💠 White-flowered: intensely fragrant at night, earning the name Lady of the Night.

  • Examples: B. americana, B. nitida, B. plicata, B. manaca.

  • 💠 Hybrids: A standout hybrid is Brunfelsia isola, that we mentioned earlier. It is blending the best of both purple and white varieties, inheriting purple color from the purple parent and night fragrance from the white one.

🟣 What is this Lavender Marble Perfume? Is it a possible combination?

The flowers of this rare hybrid - Brunfelsia isola, or Lavender Lady of the Night, are a "marble" twist of cream and purple, changing hue unpredictably. They are deliciously fragrant at night.

❓ Why such an unusual combination?

  • 🌟 Nocturnum flowers (fragrant at night) are mostly white or off-white. This rare Brunfelsia is a cross between B. americana and B. grandiflora.

  • 🌟Brunfelsia isola has the benefit of fragrant cream-colored brunfelsia and light purple color from the other parent. 👫

  • 🌟 Flowers change sometimes to cream-yellow, remaining purple margins.


👑 A must have 1 for rare fragrant plant collection!
