How to Grow and Care for Nyctanthes

The nyctanthes thrives in well-drained soil with moderate watering, ensuring the soil is slightly moist but not waterlogged. Special care is required to provide ample sunlight, ideally in a spot that receives full to partial sun. Additionally, it is essential to protect the plant from frost and cold temperatures, making it necessary to bring nyctanthes indoors or provide adequate covering during colder weather.

Types of Nyctanthes

Night-flowering jasmine

As the night-flowering jasmine suggests, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis has fragrant blooms that look their best at night. During the day, the flowers fade and wither, which is why it has been given the Latin name 'arbor-tristis' which means 'sad tree.' Its flowers can be used to create a yellow dye and are also processed into an essential oil.
