We just landed a mess of free Brunfelsia grandiflora 'Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow'. We planted 11, gave two to a neighbor and the last two to another neighbor. I had remembered reading they produced a fair amount of flowers with lots of pollen, lots of nectar, and smelled great. After planting the rest, the thought hit me that a basic rule of thumb in plants is that the better they smell, the more toxic they are. Unfortunately, I was in such a rush to plant them, I didn't think about that. The upside is that they will be in containers and in the back where the dogs aren't allowed. So I'll probably treat them as annuals, keep them trimmed and let them get taken by frost.

I've read they have a Taproot. I didn't notice that after transplanting. They were pretty rootbound though.

What I've read says they can tolerate 20-25 degrees. Has anyone noted this to be the case?

Are there any issues with growing these plants? Have they been good for pollinators in your garden?

I have two different types of Brunfelsia. Both in containers. I find they only bloom one time a year and not for a long period.

I don't know if they are considered toxic. I have always had both cats and dogs who show no interest in these plants.

Initially, I was overwintering them in the greenhouse but no longer do. The winter freezes prune them back. Our temps will on occasion dip that cold but only for a short time. If you see those temperatures for an extended time, I would think the roots might be damaged in a container.

Hoping you enjoy them. I think the blooms are beautiful and smell wonderful.

I grew Brunfelsia in my garden following the Blooms Today reviews recommendations and both types are full of nectar and with a wonderful flavor

@Barbara001 ~ do your blooms last very long? I love them but mine blooms are short lived.

I have been wondering if this would grow well in my area.

I don't know how dry your climate is but the Brunfelsia will be suited for your zone with adequate moisture.
