The Queen of the Night shrub, scientifically known as Cestrum Nocturnum, is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 3 meters tall, and if left unpruned, it can reach several meters with dense branching. It produces a crown of white flowers with a fragrant scent, and these flowers only bloom in the evening, hence called the Queen of the Night, as its delightful fragrances cover the area of the home garden where it is located. There are other types depending on the color of their flowers, such as yellow, violet, or purple. It grows relatively quickly. The Queen of the Night is cultivated for its fragrant flowers and is also planted as a garden hedge because it accepts pruning. As a shrub, it does not have a valuable aesthetic appearance. After flowering, clusters of flowers can be picked and placed in a vase inside the house to spread their fragrant aroma. The flowering period of the Queen of the Night starts from spring until mid-autumn, meaning it blooms continuously throughout the summer in succession. It can tolerate harsh conditions such as high temperatures of 45°C, wind, and drought to some extent, but it does not tolerate frost or increased salinity. It can also be pruned to take a shape according to the grower's preference. It propagates by cuttings, which is done in February using rooting hormone, and it can also be propagated by seeds, but generally, propagation by cuttings is better whenever possible.
