Comments (5)Mine(well, I should say my neighbor's) blooms in February as well. I've never pruned it _ where it comes over the fence, it isn't terribly aggressive. But I think their yard men prune it all the time, when the smallest tendril gets out of bounds. And they told me they've never seen a flower. That may be because, on my side of the hedge, it can drape over to the point that it's shaded from scorching afternoon sun. That's what I've always assumed. But it might be because their yard men are pruning the flowers off. I'd be careful. Can you give it a year to see what happens? Susannah...See MoreQueens Wreath blooms!
Comments (7)Hi It does grow like a vine Entwines onto a support and over time enlarges . Both of these were planted in the early eighties ,so very old . have been flattened a couple of timse by hurricanes plus the first had a shadehouse put on top of it by Jeanne and it was a couple of weeks before I got it dug out lol Both recovered but of course took some time I found the white form to be far less vigorous than the purple I gave that to a neighbor and she killed it lol have never seen the bicolored type Irma The light colored flower is a Brunfelsia of some sort I believe pauciflora as it winter flowers and has no aroma , These are often called Yesterday ,Today and Tomorrow because they change color over time . have never had any luck getting cuttings to root even with burying the canes while still attached I recently removed the trellis on the second because it had lifted it out of the ground so was holding up the trellis rather than reverse lol. Goal is to prune into a sprawling shrub?? Since I did some serious pruning I'm trying some in the compost bed seeems to have some magical properties as all kinds of things pop up in it , Remined me of the other common name "Sandpaper vine " now have cuts all over my hands . Someday I'll get smart enough to wear gloves?? lol gary...See Moreabendwolke
