Night-blooming jasmine, scientifically known as Cestrum nocturnum, is a fragrant flowering plant native to tropical regions of the Americas. It is characterized by its tubular, greenish-white flowers that open at night, releasing a sweet scent that attracts nocturnal pollinators like moths. The plant can grow as a shrub or small tree and thrives in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. This plant is often used in gardens for its aromatic qualities and can reach heights of up to 10 feet. While it is appreciated for its beauty and fragrance, all parts of the night-blooming jasmine are toxic if ingested, making it important to handle with care, especially around pets and children.
