It is native to the West Indies, but naturalized in South Asia. Night-blooming jasmine is an evergreen woody shrub growing to 13 ft tall. The leaves are simple, narrow lanceolate, 2.4-7.9 inches long and 0.79-1.77 inches broad, smooth and glossy, with an entire margin. The flowers are greenish-white, with a slender tubular corolla 0.79-0.98 inches long with five acute lobes, 0.39-0.51 inches diameter when open at night, and are produced in cymose inflorescences. A powerful, sweet perfume is released at night. The fruit is a berry 0.39 inches long by 0.20 inches diameter, either marfil white or the color of an aubergine. There is also a variety with yellowish flowers. There are mixed reports regarding the toxicity of foliage and fruit. Cestrum nocturnum is grown in subtropical regions as an ornamental plant for its flowers that are heavily perfumed at night. It grows best in average to moist soil that is light and sandy, with a neutral pH of 6.6 to 7.5, and is hardy to hardiness zone 8.
