Brunfelsia australis Sweet and Petite is a compact narrow evergreen with bright green foliage. In spring, open flowers that start out purple, mature to lilac and fade to white cover this happy bush until autumn. Great for specimen planting in small gardens, low hedging, and small enough to plant in a patio tub to appreciate the scent. Prune after flowering to maintain form and encourage a full flush of flowers next season. Fertilise during spring with a slow release fertiliser.
