Cestrum nocturnum aka Night Jasmine

Cestrum nocturnum, also known as the lady of the night, night-blooming jasmine, night-blooming jessamine, night-scented jessamine, night-scented cestrum, or poisonberry, is a species of plant in the Solanaceae family. Native to the West Indies and naturalized in South Asia, this bushy evergreen shrub can reach up to 4m in height. It features arching stems, ovate leaves, and panicles of greenish-tinged, creamy-white, tubular flowers that emit a sweet and musky fragrance at night. While commonly referred to as a jasmine, it is not a true jasmine and does not belong to the Jasminum genus. Instead, it is a jessamine plant, a member of the nightshade family. With its fragrant flowers and similar name, the confusion is understandable. Night-blooming jasmine is a tropical evergreen shrub that grows wild in the Caribbean and Central America. It can grow up to 8-10 feet tall and 3 feet wide, making it suitable for privacy hedges and screens. From spring to late summer, it produces clusters of small white-green flowers that later turn into white berries, attracting various birds to the garden.
