Description
commonly known as Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, is a show-stopping ornamental shrub prized for its tri-colour floral display and sweet fragrance. This evergreen beauty blooms from spring to summer(intermittently through the year)., with each flower transitioning from purple to pale mauve to white over several days. It grows best in Australia’s warmer climates – including coastal QLD, northern NSW, and protected gardens in Perth or Adelaide – where frost is minimal. Partial shade and regular watering will keep it lush, though it dislikes overly wet or alkaline soils. A light prune after flowering maintains shape and encourages bushiness.
Ideal for borders, containers, or understory planting, it grows 1.5–2 m tall and wide.
Caution: all parts are toxic if ingested, so plant away from pets and small children.
