Cestrum cultivars

[aykhan]

I see a lot of cestrum cultivars on the Internet. They come in white, yellow, red ans maybe some more shades. Wanted to know if these are common in Pakistan or not. Maybe I haven't investigated this plant yet so I haven't been on the lookout in nurseries.

White is common. Red is also available though slightly higher price.

Yellow is also common in nurseries as well as huge specimens in Lawrence gardens. Pink is also present in lawrence gardens but not in nurseries. But without the fragrance no color is worth it. Yellow has no fragrance.

White and yellow both are common, white RAT KI RANI is the most fragrant and only one worth a place in the garden

Silly me I was hoping someone will they are to be found everywhere in the nurseries and all as as fragrant as the other

[Farhan Ahmed]

Dr Sb this is brownish one growing nearby me....its fragrant





White

That is beautiful. Is it as fragrant as nocturnum? I did some research and apparently cestrum 'goldspire' and cestrum parqui are fragrant.

Dr sb the bush on the top was sold to me as red night scented jasmin ( raat ki rani).But its not fragrant so i uprooted the bush this year.

Doc Sb i stand corrected as Umer Bhai said the brown one is not fragrant. Probably it was the smell of the white one close by.

Here is the yellow one. It is also not fragrant............could it be that they release fragrance at night ....as i checked them during daytime?after all its night blooming

Without fragrance these plants are probably not worth the space.
