Notes: Genus of approximately 40 species. As it likes some shade, it makes a good companion to Azaleas and Fuchsias. Grow it with Cinerarias or Grape hyacinths at its feet to enhance the colour of its blooms. Plant it close to the house to enjoy the sweet Jasmine-like perfume. It may carry a smaller crop of flowers in Autumn. It is quick and easy to grow. The Yesterday, today and tomorrow prefers a rich, well composted soil and a warm, wind-sheltered position. Water regularly, especially in hot, dry weather. Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings in Autumn or Spring.
