Night Blooming Jasmine

This evergreen shrub (Cestrum nocturnum) thrives in USDA zones 9-11 and reaches 4-6 feet in height and spread. Native to the West Indies, it flourishes in full sun to partial shade. The plant produces delicate, greenish-white flowers renowned for their intoxicating nighttime fragrance, blooming prolifically from late spring through fall. Its nocturnal blooms attract moths and night-pollinating insects, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. Versatile in cultivation, it adapts well to container growing or in-ground planting in frost-free climates, offering year-round foliage and seasonal aromatic interest.
