Plantbubba, isn’t the fragrance of B. Isolasimply magnificent! A must for every garden! By the way, it air-layers very well, as do all the Brunfelsias so if you want to multiply your stock, it will take 6 weeks from day of air-layering to fully rooted plant, ready to go into the garden! My B. Americana is about 6’ tall.
Fauna4flora, My B. Isola fragrance is ‘flowery’ rather than ‘spicy’ (B. Americana and Nitida)
Ecrane3, is the B. nyctaginoides fragrant? At night? Easy to grow? I've never seen one growing.

My favourites: B. Gigantica, Lactea, Jamaicensis…..oh I love all of them……


All Brunfelsias can be multiplied in 6 weeks, If the Mother plant flowers, the daughter will flower immediately, not having to go through a ‘maturity; stage! So it's well worth airlayering if you'd like to enlarge your stock.

That said, if anyone would like seeds, send a D mail and SASE. I have the following, all from my own garden:

Seeds:
Brunfelsia Americana,
Brunfelsia Nitida
Brunfelsia…surprise: could be Gigantica, Lactea or Americana. (forgot to note which B. shrub they came from)
