Cestrum nocturnum, commonly known as night-blooming jasmine, is a flowering plant native to the tropical regions of the Americas. It is known for its fragrant, tubular flowers that open at night, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths. The plant can grow as a shrub or small tree, reaching heights of up to 10 feet. This species thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. While it is appreciated for its scent and ornamental value, Cestrum nocturnum can be invasive in some areas, spreading rapidly and outcompeting native plants. Care should be taken when planting it in non-native regions.
