Nursery contributed plant descriptions

2-3" wide night fragrant flowers open lavender and gradually change to creamy white to creamy yellow maintaining hints of purple along the edges of the petals. Flowers on and off throughout the growing season. Isola Brunfelsia, or Purple Lady of the Night, is a compact growing hybrid of B. grandiflora x B. americana and is surprisingly rhizomatous to some extent, or at least our plants are. This colorful hybrid offers the best of both the fragrance, if lighter, of the American Lady of the Night and the purple and lavender tones of the large flowered Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow on a much smaller growing plant.
