🌗 The number one flower for shady spots! Every tropical gardener wants Brunfelsias: the magical, fragrant shrubs of Day and Night.

• 💠 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.

🟣 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!

❗️ What vine to plant over a big fence.

• 🔹 The fragrance is very fresh and pleasant, similar to Plumeria, fills the air around.
• 🔹 Leaves reaching up to 12 (!) inches - very tropical, majestic look!
• 🔹 Requires sturdy support - it can grow pretty big and heavy!
• 🔹 Takes both sun or shade. Full sun and regular fertilizer is essential for profuse blooming.
