Add vibrant color and tropical charm to your garden with Purple Cestrum, also known as Day Blooming Jasmine (Cestrum purpureum). This attractive semi-tropical shrub produces cascading clusters of tubular lilac-purple flowers that bloom during the day and release a light fragrance in the evening.

Unlike its night-blooming relative, this variety offers daytime visual appeal with graceful, arching branches and continuous flowering cycles in warm climates. It’s an excellent choice for hedges, background planting, or as a statement container plant on patios and porches.

This listing includes one healthy, well-rooted starter plant, approximately 8–12 inches tall, ready to grow into a lush, flowering shrub with proper care.
