Add vibrant color to your garden with this Orange Zest Jasmine (Cestrum aurantiacum) live starter plant. This fast-growing tropical shrub produces clusters of bright orange tubular flowers with soft yellow tips, creating a bold and eye-catching display.

Although commonly called jasmine or jessamine, this plant is not a true jasmine. It belongs to the Cestrum family and is known for its light, citrus-like fragrance, especially noticeable in the evening.

Ideal for garden beds, hedges, patios, or large containers, this easy-to-grow plant is beginner-friendly and quickly establishes into a lush, flowering shrub that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

You will receive a healthy, well-rooted starter plant approximately 6–12 inches tall, shipped in a 4-inch nursery pot with secure packaging for safe arrival.
