Brunfelsia Australis ‘Sweet & Petite’ is a compact form of the much-loved Yesterday Today And Tomorrow shrub. It produces masses of sweetly fragrant flowers that open rich purple, soften to mauve and eventually fade to white, displaying three beautiful colours simultaneously. Its bright green foliage and naturally tidy growth make it an attractive feature for borders, courtyards, patios and decorative containers.
Growing to approximately one metre tall, ‘Sweet & Petite’ provides the colour and fragrance of traditional Brunfelsia without requiring a large garden space. This evergreen shrub performs well in full sun or partial shade and responds beautifully to light pruning after flowering. It is an excellent choice for customers wanting a compact, long-flowering shrub with memorable fragrance and changing floral colour.
