Cestrum 'Orange Peel' (Orange Peel Cestrum)

SunZone: 7b-9, at least 72" tall Origin: Hybrid

This superb and easy-to-grow introduction from Southern Perennials and Herbs is a cross of C. diurnum x C. nocturnum. For us, this superb selection has been both floriferous and winter hardy. The fast-growing woody stems, clothed in ligustrum-shaped leaves, are adorned from early June until frost with terminal clusters of mustard-orange (RHS 25B) flowers, tipped in yellow. When winters drop into the single digits, C. 'Orange Peel' behaves as a dieback perennial that returns in spring to reach 6' tall x 6' wide by fall...simply superb! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
