Brunfelsia latifolia

Colour of the flowers changes during the day. It can be pruned back to shape, suitable for hedging too. It has a sweet frangrance.

Yes, I love the fragrance of these flowers. These shrubs are very widely grown in California.

Is this plant in your yard?

Yes it is in my yard Delonix and I am thinking of pruning the plant down a bit as it is getting rather heavy on the top...

Panther:

I know these shrubs are fast growing...and they can grow quite tall to more than 12 feet / 4 meters. Pruning is good after blooming because it stimulates new budding branches.

Yes will wait after the blooming...

Yes, you wouldn't want all those beautiful frangrant flowers to stop blooming.
