Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow Tree 25G

Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL

Charming, fragrant, and full of magic—the Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow Shrub (Brunfelsia grandiflora) is a beloved tropical classic known for its uniquely color-changing blooms. Each flower opens deep purple on day one, fades to lavender on day two, and finishes a soft white by day three—giving the appearance of multiple colors blooming simultaneously. With its sweet scent and lush foliage, this showy shrub brings cottage charm and color transitions to South Florida landscapes.

This 25-gallon size features a well-established specimen ready to flower and flourish in beds, borders, or containers.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Part shade to filtered sun is ideal. It tolerates morning sun but prefers protection from harsh afternoon rays.

• Watering: Moderate. Keep soil consistently moist, especially in dry spells or during blooming. Do not allow to dry out completely.

• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil with slightly acidic pH. Mulch and organic matter help retain moisture and improve bloom quality.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a bloom-boosting fertilizer 2–3 times per year. Iron supplements help prevent yellowing in alkaline soils.

• Growth Habit: Dense, bushy shrub with upright growth. In a 25-gallon pot, expect 3–5 feet tall; in-ground potential reaches 6–10 feet with equal spread.

• Temperature: USDA Zones 9b–11. Protect from frost when young. Handles South Florida’s humidity beautifully.

• Maintenance: Moderate. Lightly prune after bloom cycles to shape. Watch for aphids and spider mites in dry weather.

Flower Notes:
Fragrant flowers bloom in flushes, typically during spring and again in late summer or fall. The blooms shift color over three days, giving it its charming name—and making it a continual point of interest in the garden.
