The new leaves can go purplish in cool weather. Brunfelsia Latifolia has variegated green and cream foliage, and lavender-blue that gradually fade to white with age.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
Brunfelsia flower from late Spring all through Summer
Planting
From Late Spring TO Early Summer
If the climate is cool, plant in a container, so that the plant can be taken indoors in the cold weather. Where frost is not a problem, plant outdoors in a sunny or partially position in well-draining soil. The best conditions for Brunfelsia is in dappled sun, or in a position where it gets morning sun and afternoon shade
Propagate by softwood cuttings
From Late Spring TO Early Summer
Take softwood cuttings from new growth early in the day in Spring or early Summer. Cut, neatly, a 4" approx. piece of a non-flowering shoot, pinch out the tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
