This Brunfelsia species has larger, broader leaves than B. pauciflora and the same magical color-changing flowers: purple to lavender to white over three days. It blooms heavily in spring. Native to the West Indies, Brunfelsia latifolia is a rounded, evergreen shrub.
Partial shade, acidic, rich, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture. Fertilize with acid food. In zones 9-11, evergreen; zone 8 with protection. Prune after bloom. All parts toxic.
B. latifolia has larger leaves and flowers than B. pauciflora, more upright habit. Both have the color-change trait. 'Kiss Me Quick' refers to the fleeting color phases.
