Plant Description
Cestrum nocturnum, commonly known as Night-Blooming Cestrum or Queen of the Night, is a fragrant and enchanting shrub renowned for its aromatic nocturnal blooms. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, this plant has become a favorite for gardens and landscapes where its intoxicating scent can be appreciated.
The Queen of the Night is characterized by its slender, arching branches and elongated, lance-shaped leaves. The real allure, however, lies in its small, tubular flowers that bloom predominantly at night. These flowers, often greenish-white in color, emit a powerful and sweet fragrance that intensifies as darkness falls, attracting night-flying pollinators such as moths.
Cestrum nocturnum is adaptable to a variety of soil types and thrives in warm climates with well-draining soil. Its ability to withstand heat and its low-maintenance nature make it a popular choice for gardens and outdoor spaces.
Beyond its ornamental value, Night-Blooming Cestrum has cultural significance in various regions, often associated with myths and folklore. However, it's essential to note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, and caution should be exercised when planting it in areas accessible to pets or small children.
Whether planted near patios, pathways, or open windows, Cestrum nocturnum adds a touch of mystery and allure to evening landscapes, earning its regal moniker as the Queen of the Night
