🌎 Country of origin: India

Night Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum), popularly called Raat ki Rani, is a vigorous evergreen shrub famous for the powerful, sweet fragrance its tubular cream-green flowers release after sunset. Native to the West Indies, it thrives across India's warm plains and flowers in repeated flushes through the warmer months. The arching branches carry glossy lance-shaped leaves, and the plant quickly forms a dense screen. Easy to grow in gardens or large pots near windows and patios, it is a favourite for perfuming evening air. Note that the scent can be overpowering in enclosed spaces and all parts are toxic if eaten.

Growing tips

In Indian plains plant in a sunny spot with good drainage and water well in summer. Prune lightly after each bloom flush to encourage repeat flowering.

Night Jasmine Care

Night Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) thrives in full sun to partial shade and does best with 4-6 hours of direct light a day. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, keeping it moist but never waterlogged, and feed a balanced fertiliser every few weeks through the growing season. Prune lightly after flowering to keep the shrub bushy and encourage more of the tiny tubular blooms that scent the night air.

Night Jasmine Benefits & Uses

Night Jasmine is prized for its intensely fragrant white-green flowers that open after dusk and perfume an entire garden or balcony. It is a favourite for evening seating areas, verandahs and near bedroom windows where the scent carries indoors. The dense, fast-growing foliage also works well as an informal screen or hedge in Indian gardens.

Where to place Night Jasmine

Position Night Jasmine where you spend evenings — beside a patio, balcony railing or entrance — so the night-time fragrance is easy to enjoy. It suits large pots and grow bags for terraces as well as open ground, and appreciates a spot with good air circulation and morning sun.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Night Jasmine?

Keep the soil evenly moist, watering when the top few centimetres dry out. Increase watering in summer and reduce in winter; avoid waterlogging.

How much sunlight does it need?

It grows best in full sun to partial shade. Bright light produces the most flowers and the strongest evening fragrance.

Is Night Jasmine safe for pets?

No. All parts of Cestrum nocturnum are toxic if eaten, so keep cats, dogs and children away from the foliage and berries.

When and how do I repot it?

Repot every one to two years or when roots fill the pot, ideally in spring, using fresh well-drained soil and a slightly larger container.

How do I propagate Night Jasmine?

It roots easily from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in the warm season. Plant 15 cm cuttings in moist, well-drained media and keep them shaded until rooted.

Why is my plant not flowering?

Too much shade, excess nitrogen or lack of pruning reduce blooms. Move it to brighter light, feed with balanced fertiliser and prune after each flush.

When does it bloom?

It blooms in repeated flushes from spring through autumn in warm climates, with flowers opening and releasing scent after sunset.

Can I grow it indoors?

It is best grown outdoors or on a balcony because of its size and overpowering night scent. Indoors the fragrance can be too strong in closed rooms.

Is the fragrance harmful?

The scent itself is not poisonous but can be overwhelming in enclosed spaces and may trigger headaches for sensitive people. Grow it in open, airy areas.

What fertiliser should I use?

Feed a balanced NPK fertiliser monthly during the growing season, and supplement with compost or organic manure to support vigorous flowering.
