Description

Jessamine / Hardy Cestrums are relatively new and upcomming plant. Brighten up summertime with Juiced® Orange jessamine. This compact hybrid jessamine has deliciously colorful blooms and bright glossy foliage. These citrus-hued, tubular flowers attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. Blooming from spring to frost, this tropical evergreen has dark, glossy foliage and a superior, bushy habit along with easy care: no need to trim to keep the blooms coming! In colder climates, it can be grown as a patio plant and overwintered in a sunroom. This is a fun and colorful South American native that offers uniqueness and novelty that everyone will crave. Mostly listed as hardy to zone 7, you can easily push this into zone 6 with a layer of thick winter mulch. Many visitors in the display garden are amazed by the uniqueness and beauty. It really resembles a "yellow flowering lilac" with flowers and foliage. Similar to a Crapemyrtle, Cestrums are hardy outside when grown as a perennial and cut back hard each year. It will re-grow from the roots and still flower on new wood by mid-summer. During the growing season, fertilize, water regularly, and plant in full sun. Plant a little deep at first; about 2-3" deep with 4-6" of mulch. In our trial gardens in Lawrence, KS (zone 6a), the following varieties survived after being mulched 6-12" with leaf mulch. During the arctic blast of January, 2024, lows down to -11 degrees F on Jan 10th, 2024 were recorded. The longevity of this cold blast was also impressive: 4 days on a row with single digit highs including 1 day with a negative high(-2F), 4 nights of lows in negatives(-8For lower), and 48 straight hours of 0 degrees F and mostly lower. PROVEN WINNERS variety.
