Juiced Orange Jessamine (Cestrum Corymbosum) – 3 Gallon Pot

A long-blooming South American native shrub that makes for a wonderful garden or container plant, Juiced Orange Jessamine (Cestrum) blooms from spring through summer, often to frost. Abundant clusters of fragrant tubular flowers appear more golden yellow to us than they do orange, so we’re not sure why the “orange” in the name, but think it’s referring to orange juice, which is more a yellow color. One way or another, we love this plant! In our gardens, the jessamine-like fragrance is more noticeable in the evening and through the night than during the day, when the butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial pollinators find the nectar-rich flowers most attractive. No need to deadhead the flowers as they’re self-cleaning and keep on coming through the season. Dark green lustrous foliage on a bushy rounded mound to 3 to 4 feet tall and wide serves as the perfect backdrop to the flowers. A colorful accent in small garden spaces and especially nice in groupings or as a hedge where space allows. Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 7-11.
