Perennial ornamental

Night Flowering Jasmine (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis), also called Parijat or Tree of Sorrow, is a fragrant ornamental shrub valued for its nocturnal blossoms that release a delicate fragrance at dusk. Native to South and Southeast Asia, it produces clusters of star-like white flowers with striking orange centers that open in the evening and often fall by morning, carpeting the ground in petals. Easy to cultivate in warm and tropical climates with moderate water and well-drained soil, this plant attracts pollinators and brings charm and sensory appeal to night gardens, patios, and borders.
