| Cestrum sp. Family: Solanaceae Butterfly flower, Pink cestrum ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These are large tender shrubs, from 5ft-8ft, growing new stems from the base and creating a 'vase-shaped' form. The leaves are mid-green. The flowers are narrow, tubular, with flaring petals at the end, perhaps.

Expose of intense, hot sun can be tolerated, but again, best with afternoon shade and some pretection from winds. Species and varieties:
