Growing Information

Purple Cestrum thrives in well-draining soil and requires moderate watering to keep the soil evenly moist during establishment. It prefers full sun to partial shade and grows best in USDA zones 9–11. For optimal flowering, provide plenty of sunlight and prune lightly to encourage fuller growth. This plant is container-friendly but should be established in a container before transplanting outdoors. Due to its high light needs, it is not recommended as a houseplant.
