Cestrum nocturnum

Ratrani thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade and regular watering. It attracts night-flying pollinators like moths, contributing to local pollination networks. Traditionally, it has been used to treat ailments such as fever, pain, and respiratory issues. Known for its highly fragrant white or yellow flowers that bloom at night, it is a popular choice in gardens, especially for its evening fragrance.
