Night-Blooming Jasmine

Cestrum nocturnum

Description

Shrub with white flowers that release an intense and sweet fragrance during the night. Attractive for garden nights.

Growing tips

Night Jasmine needs 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day and moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Plant it in an outdoor spot sheltered from frost, as it does not tolerate temperatures below 10 °C; in cold climates, protect it during winter or move it to a frost-free area. Use a well-draining substrate and fertilise in spring to encourage its abundant flowering from spring through autumn. Caution: this plant is toxic, so keep it away from children and pets.
