Yellow Jasmine Flower Plant - 4K Stockvideo

Orange Cestrum is a tropical shrub or vine native to North and South America. In its native habitat it may reach 15 feet tall but in cooler climates where it freezes back to the ground, it will grow to a height and width of about 5 feet. The top of the plant is hardy to zone 8 but it is root hardy to zone 7 making it a good option in many southern gardens. In the late spring through early fall it is covered with large tubular orange flowers. Plant it in the full sun though it does well with some afternoon shade, in average well-drained soil. When the plant dies back in the fall cut the stems back and apply mulch to protect the crown. It espaliers well, is deer resistant, and is a great plant for Xeriscape gardens as it is quite drought tolerant. Plant it in the back of a border, in a nighttime garden near a patio so you can enjoy the sweet-spicy citrus fragrance of the flowers.
