I don't think you will find to many plants that rival this Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow for fragrance and floral display, but it has a deadly secret. The seeds are poisonous as is the rest of the plant, so if you have children or pets don't let them any where near them.
My friend Julie has just recently learnt the dangers of this plant and keeps Bundy her Labrador and his brother and sister well away from them.
If you do however want to grow this plant it will need gentle heat, a slightly acidic soil and average watering. It will grow in hotter areas provided it has some shade protection. Yesterday Today and Tomorrow is an evergreen and will grow between 4 - 7' tall, though can be pruned if you want to keep it smaller and also grows very well pots.
Deadly but beautiful, just go to show you need to know what plants you are putting in your garden.
Happy gardening
Bronwyn
