Jasmine PURPLE CESTRUM Day Blooming Live Tropical Flowering Plant Shrub Lavender Mauve Bloom

Purple Cestrum or Day Blooming Jasmine is a semi tropical flowering shrub related to the popular Night Blooming Jasmine, which is also a cestrum, not a true jasmine.

It will mature to a large upright bush with thin, fine, arching limbs, and produce showy, drooping, hanging, clusters of waxy textured, tubular lilac purple flowers that, unlike its night blooming cousin, are open during the day, and are also lightly fragrant at night.

The flowers appear in cycles throughout the year in tropical climates, and throughout the warm season in the sub-tropics.

Purple Cestrum can be used as large flowing hedge, as background in layered beds, or mixed perennials. It makes a fine anchor or transitional plant when some height is needed, and can also be grown as a large potted plant indefinitely.
