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?
