Parijat, Night Coral Jasmine

Common Names: Parijat, Night Flowering Jasmine, Coral Jasmine

We are excited to partner with a perth local browser for this one. Normally very hard to come by.

Parijat is a special tree that blooms at night and drops its flowers at dawn. It has a sweet smell that fills the air when the sun goes down. In Perth, it loves a mostly sunny spot but needs protection from the hot wind in summer and cold winter. It is a tough plant once it gets its roots down and looks great in any garden. You will love waking up to a carpet of white flowers with bright orange centres on the ground every morning.

Parijat trees have rough leaves that feel like sandpaper. The flowers are small and shaped like stars. It grows well in pots if you give it enough room to move. Don't let it get too thirsty in summer, or it might get a bit cranky. Prune it back after the flowers finish to keep it looking tidy and bushy. It is a real conversation starter for your backyard.

Interesting Notes:

The flowers are used to make natural dyes for cloth because of those bright orange stems. Many people find the scent very calming after a long day in the garden. It is a must have for anyone who likes plants that tell a story.
