🌸 About the Night-Blooming Jasmine Plant
Cestrum Nocturnum is an evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub belonging to the Solanaceae family. Unlike daytime flowering plants, this variety produces clusters of small, greenish-white tubular flowers that open in the evening and release a powerful fragrance throughout the night. The scent is often described as sweet, rich, and calming, making it a favourite for gardens, patios, and home entrances.
In South Asian households, Raat Ki Rani is traditionally grown near windows or outdoor seating areas so the evening breeze can carry its perfume indoors. In the UK, it has become increasingly popular as a container plant, ideal for conservatories, balconies, and warm indoor spaces.

☀️ Light, Water & Soil Requirements
Sunlight:
Cestrum Nocturnum thrives in full sun to partial shade. For best flowering and fragrance, place the plant where it receives at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering:
Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter. Overwatering should be avoided, especially in colder months.
Soil:
Use well-draining, fertile soil. A good-quality multi-purpose compost mixed with perlite or sand works well for container planting.
🌼 Growing Night-Blooming Jasmine in the UK
Although native to tropical regions, Night-Blooming Jasmine grows very well in the UK when given proper care. It is best grown in pots or containers, allowing you to move the plant indoors during winter or periods of frost.
During spring and summer, place the plant outdoors in a sunny, sheltered position. As temperatures drop below 10°C, bring it indoors or into a greenhouse or conservatory. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for UK gardeners who want exotic fragrance without complicated maintenance.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Regular pruning encourages bushy growth and more flowers. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and promotes new shoots. Remove dead or weak branches as needed. Feed the plant every 2–3 weeks during the growing season using a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth and blooming.
