Cestrum Nocturnum

Hi guys. I've tried growing these from cuttings and have failed miserably:flag:They're advertised as seeds at "Jungle Seeds". Are they relatively easy to grow

 

Hi, I have had a plant from cutting last year and its fine, have also bought 2 from ebay last week. she still has some left.

Great plant and has a lovely perfume, the hole house smells of it in the evening when it does bloom.

 

Thanks waq. Still doesn't help abou the seed thing.

 

Hi caj ....

I can't help you either although it is a very popular shrub here. I personally am not fond of it and had one a few years ago and gave it away .... quite insipid looking in my books I think but is scented at night.

I think you need pete, walnut or strongy on here for this one.

Catch up with you shortly .... :luv:

 

Jungle seeds do have them Caj they are in the sale if you do get some seeds a would like to Cadge a couple off you to add to my collection.:thumb:

 

Hi Lady:luv:

Walnut, no problem, I'm just going to try ordering them now.:wink:

 

I hadn't heard of this and was intrigues as I love scented plants.. I found this which is interesting

Cestrum nocturnum

It has become widely naturalised in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world, including Australia, New Zealand, southern China and the southernmost United States, and is difficult to eradicate. It is classed as a weed in some countries.

In Auckland New Zealand, it has been reported as a seriously invasive weed to the Auckland Regional Council and is under investigation. NS Forest and Bird is compiling an inventory of wild cestrum sites in order that we can get this plant on the banned list.

 

I found the seeds here along with Hibiscus which i am going to order
