Brunfelsia Pauciflora ‘Macrantha’

Brunfelsia Pauciflora ‘Macrantha’
Solanaceae
Kristin Yanker-Hansen, Danville
This is another member of the Solanum family with blue flowers. This cultivar has markedly larger flowers than the more common yesterday-today-and-tomorrow plant. It also is more tender and requires warmth, moist rich somewhat acid soil and partial shade. Its spectacular flower show is worth the extra attention it requires. It blooms in the early summer and it was reported that it may re-bloom.
