  • Description

  • Notes

This loose, rangy, arching shrub can reach about 12' high and has light green, glossy leaves. Very fragrant, small white flowers provide a sweet evening scent in summer and fall. Night Jessamine benefits from strong pruning after bloom to keep size and weak branch structure under control. White berries are poisonous.
