Night Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum), also known as Night-Blooming Jasmine or Lady of the Night, is a tropical, evergreen shrub cherished for its intensely fragrant flowers that release their sweet scent after sunset. This fast-growing plant can reach heights of 6 to 12 feet, forming a dense, bushy shape with long, glossy green leaves. Its small, tubular greenish-white or yellowish flowers may appear modest by day, but come nightfall, they fill the air with a powerful, exotic perfume that can be detected from dozens of feet away.
Perfect for moon gardens or near patios and windows where the scent can be enjoyed in the evening, Night Jasmine thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It blooms multiple times throughout the warm months, especially in tropical and subtropical climates, and responds well to pruning for shape and size control. While not a true jasmine, it offers similar romantic charm and aromatic beauty, making it a favorite among gardeners looking to add nighttime magic to their landscape.
