Yesterday Today Tomorrow Plant – Brunfelsia pauciflora

A living calendar of colour. The Yesterday Today Tomorrow plant (Brunfelsia pauciflora) is one of the most enchanting ornamental shrubs you can grow — its blooms open deep violet, fade to lavender the next day, and turn white by the third, giving you three colours on the same plant at the same time.

Why Grow Yesterday Today Tomorrow?

• Sweet, jasmine-like fragrance — especially strong in the evenings
• Compact shrub — ideal for pots, terraces, balconies, and garden borders
• Long flowering season — blooms repeatedly through the year in Kerala's climate
• Attracts butterflies and pollinators

Plant Details

Care Guide

Sunlight: Thrives in partial shade to full sun. Avoid harsh afternoon sun in peak summer. Morning sun is ideal.

Watering: Water regularly but allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Reduce watering in monsoon. Never allow roots to sit in standing water.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with compost or cocopeat. Slightly acidic pH (5.5–6.5) promotes best flowering.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer (10-10-10) monthly. Switch to a phosphorus-rich bloom booster (0-52-34) during the flowering phase to intensify colour and fragrance.

Pruning: Light pruning after each flowering flush encourages bushier growth and more blooms. Remove spent flowers promptly.

Pest & Disease Guide

Generally pest-resistant. Watch for spider mites in dry conditions — mist leaves regularly. Treat aphids with neem oil spray. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues during monsoon.

Landscaping Uses

Perfect as a standalone specimen plant, mixed border shrub, fragrant hedge, or container plant on terraces and balconies. Pairs beautifully with Pentas, Ixora, and Allamanda for a continuous-colour tropical garden.
