Yesterday Today and Tomorrow
Brunfelsia pauciflora ‘Floribunda’
The Yesterday Today and Tomorrow is a captivating evergreen shrub celebrated for its remarkable color-changing flowers and intoxicating evening fragrance. This Brazilian native produces clusters of blooms that undergo a daily transformation, opening deep purple, fading to soft lavender on the second day, and finally turning pure white on the third . The result is a stunning, multi-colored display with all three hues present on the shrub at once, creating a truly unique and romantic garden effect. Adding to its allure, the flowers release a powerful, sweet-spicy fragrance reminiscent of cloves, especially in the late afternoon and evening . A classic plant for the tropical and subtropical garden, it is an exquisite choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a fragrant focal point near patios and entryways.
