Cestrum nocturnum (commonly known as Night Jasmine)is an evergreen shrub with night-blooming white flower clusters. As the flowers open in the evening a lovely fragrance is emitted. Night Blooming Jasmine likes constantly moist soil and full sun. It can tolerate some shade. Spring fertilizing is recommended for best results. To maintain compact growth it is important to pinch foliage and/or cut it back after flowering.
