Notes
'Peel' orange jessamine (Cestrum 'Peel') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, and hedges. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Black Knight butterfly bush, Sedge, and Karma Choc dahlia.
